Hi,
Thank you all for helping. I really appreciate it.
I believe the file path is correct now because the error message I am now
getting has changed.
Code:
#Attach file
@browser.file_field(:id,
"the_file").set("/Users/josephfleck/Documents/DownloadDocs/DataFile.xls")
It doesn't object name i am giving it. Do I need to use something else like
the actual object name of the text field?
