I'm attempting to do a file upload using the destination type Path

I want the path to be a set location with a variable file name (from the form field)

D:\location_to_folder\[frmFile.Name,Form]

However when doing this it doesn't appear to pickup that variable and the Debug output displays

D:\location_to_folder[frmFile.Name,Form]

Oddly enough dropping the \ and not displaying the file name but the variable name.

Any ideas? Do I have to generate the path before hand and pass it in as a variable. I'd rather not if I don't have too.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I believe it is thinking you are escaping [... try using \\

Very close. That was the problem on why the \ was being removed. However now the file is being saved as [frmFile.name,Form]

So still not transforming the variable correctly.

I decided to forego the D:\location_to_folder\ for a relative path:
~/Portals/[PortalID,System]/location_to_folder/[frmFile.Name,Form]

~ may not work right all the time.. i suggest use

[PortalPath,System]location_to_folder/[frmFile.Name,Form]

note [PortalPath,System] will take care of the end /

Thanks,

I am running into the same issue. In my case I am getting the file name from a query which I then append to the path to pass to the File Operation to attach file in an email. The email gets sent out without the attachment. In debug mode nothing shows up after the "Actual" query that gets executed. I have tried replacing ~ with [PORTALPATH,System], but that did not work either. There are no errors in the EventLog. How do I troubleshoot this.

Here is the Action
File: Source Path: [PortalPath,System]subfolder/[path,qryDocDetails]. DestinationEmailAttachment Email Attachment.[originalfilename,qryDocDetails ]

Thanks in advance for your help,
