Thanks very much for the reply.This is the code i have used - which to the best of my knowledge should do the same thing as yours:
FileInputStream fileTopics=null;
try
{
// open input stream to topics.properties file
fileTopics = new FileInputStream(filePath +
"topics.properties");
Properties propTopics = new Properties();
propTopics.load(fileTopics);
// load properties object
However after saving the file in the root of my C:\ (where i have tomcat installed i'm still getting FileNOtFoundException. Can you throw any light on the situation for me ??
Kind regards
Elaine
