Can http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1290505 anybody tell me what cause for the invalid file or path ? That means what is 'Invalid' here? I think if the file is not available it gives different error message.

VFP reads https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/a4431509-aa34-495b-acc0-cbf39d686d8e/invalid-path-or-file-name-vfp-error?forum=visualfoxprogeneral the string up to the blank and tries to access the file or change to this directory and as neither exists, you get an error. To avoid this problem you should make use of name expressions: * // instead of lcTargetPath = [D:\My Files\My Pictures\] CHDIR &lcTargetPath * // or even worse lcTargetPath = [D:\My Files\My Pictures\] CHDIR "&lcTargetPath" * // you should do it like this lcTargetPath = [D:\My Files\My Pictures\] CHDIR ( lcTargetPath ) * // and this can be done here, too SET ...

I want to access DBF files from C# asmx webservice. program error invalid Problem is if I use Visual FoxPro VFP OLEDB then it only works while running asmx webservice in Visual studio's Debug mode but when I publish it to IIS, it gives this error: System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException: Invalid path or file name First Attempt (with ADS OLEDB): It works ONLY when DBF files are not opened by non-ADS program. If any Xbase++ program first opens DBF file then "Locking situation" occurs and I can't access DBF file.

Begin by determining if it is your program (something missing in VFP9 app) that is at fault. Can you access a table on drive F through the command window?

I tried to create and modify tables on drive F and it works (through the command window). But, not with forms and reports.

Now check your app's path. Begin with Tools->Options and go to the [File Locations] tab. Scroll down until you find [Default Directory] and click [Modify]. Use the elip
