    What are you trying to achieve?

    If you want to select local files to upload, look at the File upload control. You can see an example in document management, where you're uploading files to import.

    If you mean selecting a path on the web server in cloud, ask yourself whether it makes sense.

    It still depends on details that you didn't provide.

    You said you want a folder path, but where is this folder located? On your local machine? On a VM in cloud? A shared drive in your network? In Azure File Storage? Or somewhere else?

    Hi Martin Dráb

    i don't know exactly where the user will browse to choose folder location but maybe his local machine .. but what about the rest ?

    Knowing the path on a local machine is not useful, because the web application can't access the files there. You'll need a different approach.

    If you explain the business problem to us, we may be able to suggest a technical solution that actually can be implemented.

    Hi Martin Dráb

    business requirement is a button on a form that upload data via one or more CSV file located in Folder and insert into the table  ..

    i have a code takes a path of the folder  for ex: ("C:\Windows\Temp"  ) and then loop through all CSV files

    so that i need to get folder path ---> ""C:\Windows\Temp"

    The requirement can be implemented - users can upload files to F&O, as mentioned above.

    But your idea of accessing files on users' machines from X++ is not possible.

    you mean it is impossible to get folder path ?

  • Martin Dráb Profile Picture

    You could get a path, such as "C:\Windows\Temp". But it would be useless to you, because you don't have access there. It doesn't even say on which computer it's located.
