Okay I went back and checked the permissions thing. I have read and
write to it and I copied the file to my desktop to make sure.
Permissions are not the issue. But I am getting empty when I read
from the file now, whereas before "it" never changed when I read from
a file. BTW I AM running code in a button that is part of a group
that is a background. Possible issue?? Here is the updated code:
ON mouseUp
answer file "Select the program file to import:" of type "F+PR"
put it into mfilename
IF mfilename is empty THEN exit mouseup
put slyfilefrompath(mfilename) into mshortfile
IF char -4 of mshortfile is "." THEN
put char 1 to -5 of mshortfile into mmodule
END IF
IF there is a card (mmodule) THEN
go card (mmodule)
ELSE
new card
set the name of this card to tolower(mmodule)
END IF
-- Read from file method
open file mfile
put the result into mres
-- mres is empty here indicating a successful open
read from file mfile at 1 until eof
-- it is empty here!!!!! AAAAAGGGGKKKKKKKK!
put it into field code
close file mfile
-- URL method
-- put "file:" & mfilename into mfile
-- put url mfile into field code
set the text of field "lblcode" to "Code: " & tolower
(slyfilefrompath(mfilename))
END mouseUp
Ya know I opened the file in a text editor without a problem, but
did not try to write to it, thinking that since I only tried to
read from it in Revolution I should be able to do so. I should get
the result when I open a file anyways but thsi was a quick and
dirty utility. I will give that a try. I suspect you may have
nailed it.

Bob,
I've seen this exact behavior when trying to read a file for which
I do not have write permission. (If memory serves, checking the
result right after the open file or read from file with give you
an error message.) Try using
open file myfile for read
before you do read from file. Either that or change the
permissions on the files you're reading.
