thanx thomas, stored procedure created using UTL_FILE and it can read the text file. but i still donno how the TEXT_IO package can work with the stored proc. seems UTL_FILE can only save file within the its own platform instead of reaching the client's). and the same thing happens to TEXT_IO. so, the .txt file is still on the server and waiting for ur rescue. :-)

thanx!
