I can't believe I am writing to ask this, but...

When I try to add a new logo to my empeg I am getting the message "Run-time error '53'". File not found. This is happening when I click on send to empeg car player from Tony's logo editor. I am using the serial port and yes, I can connect to the player.

Sorry for this lame question, but does anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks,

Doug

Please tell me the full path name of the location where logo editor is installed.

Also please give me a list of the files that exist in the same folder with the logo editor.

Also tell me the full path and file name of the logo file that you're attempting to install.

Thanks Tony. Your questions got me thinking and I solved the problem. For some reason the path was not getting read correctly. I changed the location and it works great!

Thanks again. Sometimes you just need someone to get the wheels a' turning!

I'd still be curious to know what the folder name is so that I know why it broke. It should have just worked.

It was in my downloads folder...

C:\Documents and Settings\Doug\My Documents\Empeg\Downloads

I just moved it up a notch to...

C:\Documents and Settings\Doug\My Documents\Empeg

Now it works.

Doug

Hmm. Interesting. I don't see why that would have made any difference.

Was it the logo file that was in that folder, or the logo editor executable program that was in that folder?

The logo editor was located in that file. The logos themselves are located at...

C:\Documents and Settings\Doug\My Documents\Empeg\Logos

Okay, were you running it from a shortcut? What were the properties of the shortcut? Did you move all of the files from Downloads or just the EXE? What files were in the folder with the EXE? Is the Downloads folder perhaps protected by virus software or ZoneAlarm or something?

OK,

No I wasn't running from a shortcut.

I moved all the files from downloads folder.

Also in the downloads folder was 2.00 13 developer and consumer upgrade files, beta 11 consumer file, emplode beta 13 and emplode beta 11 zips, emplode 1.03, jemplode2b11, jemplode20.jar.

I have blackice installed but I put it in install mode which basically deactivates it.

Doug

Hmm. Doesn't make sense. Odd.

Not something silly like the path being too long for a char array is it? If you only have 64 chars for a path (including a null), you could only have

C:\Documents and Settings\Doug\My Documents\Empeg\Downloads\123

so the filename could only be 3 characters long. If however we go up a directory, you could have:

C:\Documents and Settings\Doug\My Documents\Empeg\1234567890123

or a 13 character filename which is reasonable....

Just a thought. I don't even know if it's written in C/VB/Delphi/whatever.

Not that I know of. VB has strings of essentially unlimited length that are self-managed by the runtime engine. I don't need to do char ararrays in VB.

VB...the lazy man's language...

(I hafta program mostly in VBA for my job...and it is "a most wretched hive of scum and villainy...", but it gets the job done)

Well, in my case, it wasn't so much lazyness as available time. The quick development time associated with VB made the difference between the program getting written and it not getting written.

And it's quite appreciated...I was just commenting on the language in general. It is quite useful when it's used for what it's good at (case in point...logo editor).
