Fabian,

First, it has been sent up the line and is being worked on. That's all I'll say in that regard.

Second, after the call to the CreateFile() API call in the FileIO.prg. I issued a call to GetLastError(). The result was a "The system cannot find the path specified." error. That has been passed along as well.
