Hi all,
Thanks for your replies. It wasn't a permissions issue. Apparently, not the
full
path name should be used. When I use os.chdir (by the way: why on earth isn't
this called os.setcwd()?? That's consistent with os.getcwd()) and then use the
file name only, it works. See the Idle session below. Thought it'd be nice to
share this with you.
Best wishes,
Albert-Jan

You've got your / and \ mixed up.
Forward slashes (/) are fine in Windows paths. It's back
slashes(\) that need escaping or raw stringing. \t is tab...
On the original ask - could it be a permissions issue?
Does your app have acess to the file?
