Add some more code in here: print "filename", repr(filename) cwd = os.getcwd() print "cwd", cwd abspath = os.path.abspath(filename) print "abspath", repr(abspath) exists = os.path.exists(abspath) print "exists", exists and copy/paste the output into your reply. Also tell us the name of the folder that the file allegedly exists in, with a folder listing to prove it. Also show us the result of using the ATTRIB command on your file, like in the following examples: C:\junk>attrib c:\io.sys SHR C:\IO.SYS C:\junk>attrib c:\python26\python.exe A C:\python26\python.exe Again, use copy/paste in your reply. > if os.path.exists(os.path.abspath(filename)): > print os.path.abspath(filename) > else: > print "Not found" > #tkMessageBox.showinfo("Text", "You typed: %s" % > os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(filename))) > > #filepath.mydir(self.enText.get()) > > if __name__ == "__main__": > guiFrame = GUIFrameWork() > guiFrame.mainloop() > > User Input: NEWS.txt > Output: Not Found (though this file is actually present) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
