Re: GETFILE() Returns Empty String in Some Cases

Are you declaring your variable as PRIVATE right before you run the GETFILE() command?

PRIVATE mypath

mypath = GETFILE("csv","Spreadsheet","Open",0,"Open Spreadsheet")

Just curious if that is affecting it.

GAAAAAHHH!!! That's it!!

Not a PRIVATE declaration, the variable is declared LOCAL.

But in application mode there is a field in an open table with the same name as the variable. I applied the "essential m-dot" to the variable, and that fixed it.

Thanks very much Philip!!
