    You could simply use a text field where users would paste the path. Thinking about anything more complex would be a waste of time, if the whole thing is useless anyway.

    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.

    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.

    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"

    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

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

    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?
