UTL_FILE/Personal Oracle 8.0.3.0.0/Win98 - PLEASE HELP!

Hi,

I have problem opening file using UTL_FILE.FOPEN. It raises UTL_FILE.INVALID_PATH exception. File 'C:\NETLOG.TXT' exists. I can open it using notepad.

Why I have the problem?

Here is the procedure:

declare

file_handle UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
path_ char(3) := 'C:\';
file_ char(10) := 'NETLOG.TXT';

   file_handle := UTL_FILE.FOPEN(path_, file_, 'r');    UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(file_handle);
   exception

           when UTL_FILE.INVALID_MODE then dbms_output.put_line('Error: Invalid mode');

           when UTL_FILE.INVALID_FILEHANDLE then dbms_output.put_line('Error: Invalid filehandle');

           when UTL_FILE.INVALID_OPERATION then dbms_output.put_line('Error: Invalid operation');

           when UTL_FILE.READ_ERROR then dbms_output.put_line('Error: Read error');

           when UTL_FILE.WRITE_ERROR then dbms_output.put_line('Error: Write error');

           when UTL_FILE.INTERNAL_ERROR then dbms_output.put_line('Error: Internal error');

           when UTL_FILE.INVALID_PATH then dbms_output.put_line('Error: Invalid path');
end;
