cant open file on server

[Administrator]

Hi.

I am trying to use DocIO to open and read a word document.

I get the following error:

Cannot open storage. File Name is: /usercvs/343/Paul_Davidson_CV.doc

The filename I am trying to access is configured as follows:

dim strFilename as string = "/usercvs/343/Paul_Davidson_CV.doc"

Is this correct? Or do I somehow need to get remote paths or something?

Thanks, Paul.

Hi Paul,

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion products.

What you have tried is correct to open the document from the server. Could you please ensure that document is opening from local disk (copy into c: and try to open using DocIO), if again shows the same error then there is a problem with the document, in that case please send the file to us to reproduce the issue and investigate more on this issue.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Best Regards,
Bhuvana

it now seems to work, I changed the file location to :

Dim strFileLocation As String =
Server.MapPath("/usercvs/" &
candidateID.ToString() & "/" & strFilename)

so it was all just about the remote server path.
