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


You don't define mfile anywhere in this script, so I would guess it is
reading a non-existent file and returning the contents - nothing.

Put in a check for the file first: e.g. if there is not a file mfile then ...

HTH,
