Read command in Rats 10

[Gilbril]

Dear Tom,
I want to read series names into a string vector. I have to navigate around other columns and descriptions using left right and top.

dec vector[string] Descriptions
open C:\DB.xlsx
read(for=xlsx, sheet= 'Descr', left=9,right=10, top=4, varying) Desccriptions
close

When I run this comamnd in Rats 10 it seems not to find the path and the execution of the code is stopped by the 'file for data window'. I do have this problem only in rats 10 in rats 9.2 it runs smoothly without interruption. Can you help me with that?

You're really not supposed to put files in the root directory (directly in c:\) on a Windows machine.

The problem you have is that your OPEN instruction needs to read OPEN DATA c:\db.xlsx. You forgot the I/O unit name.
