In a network pathname, some backslashes are doubled due to UNC naming rules: you must reflect this in your string, considering that each backslash character must be doubled to be used as is and not as an escape marking; that is, this string should work:

iFile = OpenFile ("\\\\bissstorage\\Backups\\sudhir\\TransducersDetails\\TransducersDetails.txt" , VAL_READ_WRITE, VAL_APPEND, VAL_ASCII); 

The same applies in case you want to build up the path with MakePathname: in this case you should do the following:

char    file[512];

MakePathname ("\\\\bissstorage", "Backups", file);

MakePathname (file, "sudhir", file);

MakePathname (file, "TransducersDetails", file);

MakePathname (file, "TransducersDetails.txt" , file); 

iFile = OpenFile (file , VAL_READ_WRITE, VAL_APPEND, VAL_ASCII);

It's just that I've been working with CVI for many years... and you ask questions I can answer!

how can i improve my knowldge.. i have  2 year exp in dsp and cvi...what and all i shuold study ..

[RobertoBozzolo]

I don't know how to answer, I'm a self-taught programmer, no books or courses.

Instead, I analized every single piece of code I could put my hands on, from shipped examples to user contributions on this and other forum, MSDN documentation, manuals...; I studied CVI documentation, the Programmer Reference for first down to single instructions help.

Most of all, I consider myself still learning: I know I could find unknown aspects of C and CVI, and indeed I'm still finding programming gems in forum posts!
