Hi there,

I have a problem using fopen from utl_file with drive letters under Oracle 8.0.5 /NT.

I can only open files located on the drive Oracle is installed (D:) My init.ora contains a "UTL_FILE_DIR = *" Opening a file with "UTL_FILE.fopen('\MyDir', 'MyFile', 'r');" works just fine, but "UTL_FILE.fopen('C:\MyDir', 'MyFile', 'r');" does not work. It is written in some books that this SHOULD work.

What is wrong here?
(The Oracle documentation tells nothing about opening files with drive drive letters under NT)

Thanks in advance,
bye,
