    I have been trying to use the file access node to append a csv file just to see if I can. I can make it work when I run it in the designer on my pc butit is always trying to write the file to my c drive in the processflow folder. the manual says that the Output file line in the node should be the location of the file but it always seems to think the file is located in the c drive. where is the place to tell it the path to the folder the file is in?

    I hope that makes sense to someone.

      Sure, just include the patch information in the "input file", i.e. c:\mypath\myfile.csv
      Thanks for using the LawsonGuru.com forums!

        John - can you give examples of the path info you would use for Windows, Unix and AS400?

          It works running in Designer because it can map to your C: drive.  Running on the server, the flow can not map to your PC's drive.    If you are on a windows server you can send it to a network drive, if you are UNIX you will have to save it to a directory on your server, you can then ftp it to your local drive.

            I have been able to get around this issue in the past by adding an email node to the recipient with the new file created added as an attachment.
