Title: Error message when attempting to add external data in Workspace Advance
Post by: TStapleton11 on 02 Jul 2013 12:31:49 PM
Hi all -

I am trying to add external data in Workspace Advance and get an error message.  I have tried to add xls, as well as csv files.  I've searched for the error and so far haven't found anything helpful.  The error I get is:


Error! Server Error404 - File or directory not found. The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

Any idea why I may be getting this error?  The file is in the location that I am browing to and is available.

Any help is appreciated!

did you ever find a solution to this?

Did you use a UNC file name when pointing to the external file?

Sorry!  I'm just now found this reply.  It's been so long since I was dealing with this issue that I can't remember what example I was working with.  Different hot issues these days, I suppose.  So, I appreciate the response but will table this until it moves back into the "hot" category.  :D
