RE: Log File

Hi Joe,

Write #filenu#, .Path & "\" & .Name

use write #filenu, .path & "\" & .name

Or try this code it should be better

dim filestring as string

with activedocument

if len(.paht)> 3 then

filestring= .path & "\" & . name

else
filestring=.path & .name
endif
end with

open <path> file.txt for append as #filenu

write #filenu,filestring
write #filenu,format(now(),"dd,dddd,mmmm,yyyy")
write #filenu,format(now(),"hh:mm:ss")
close #filnu

Hope this code works and you find it helpful.

Anand
