in reply to file not found with OPEN

Just some plain vanilla checks. Check that the path is really really correct. Same for the file name. Chek the file's owner and permissions. Can you open the file with a text editor?

    A text editor such as Notepad will not open the file, which I suspect is due to the IDX nature of the file (i.e, index file).

    Question: using "Windows Explorer", I see that the "file opens with Excel." Could that be the culprit?
      You would probably have problems reading it if it were an Excel file, but the error message says "file not found". BTW, Windows will say "Excel file" for any file having the CSV extension, regardless of the content.
