Sorry for what I hope is a naive question. I have successfully written scripts that opens an ascii file and places the data into a worksheet. What I would like to do is use the open -w [datafile] to access an ascii file from a computer on a local network. The question I have is what do I use as [datafile] I'm guessing something like computername\drive\file, but I can't figure out the magic combination. I am using Origin 6.1 and Windows 98. Thanks for any help.

With WinNT you can use \\computername\sharename\file but I'm not sure that will work with Win9X. You might try \\computername\drive\file or mount the network drive to give it a letter on your own PC.

Thanks for the quick reply. For Win98, \\computername\drive\file works.
