Why can't I open read/write rules file?

[1roach]

I have followed the Cookbook XML tutorial exactly as prescribed, even down to using all the examples from the 'Completed' folder, but when I try to perform any procedure such as generating a EDD or reading an XML instance (the ColorDoc.xml example) I get the following in the log file:

Could not open the read/write rules file

(App\ChapterReadWriteRules)

Make sure you have read access to the file and that

the file is not already in use.

Using XP and Framemaker 7.

Its a real blocker this proble. Have tries unsetting the XP Read-only folder property on all the folders in the heirarchy but XP won't let me do that. Very grateful if anyone could help me over this problem.

Where is the read/write rules file? Network drive? Your PC? External drive?

Hello

Its on my PC. I have a folder called 'Practice' on my D drive, a folder called 'App' under that, and this is where my read/write rules file 'ChapterReadWriteRules.fm' is. Im just following the cookbook examples exactly.

I have sorted it out. Managed to unset the XP Read-only folder property  on all the  folders in the heirarchy. Kind of works, the ColorDoc.xml creates a  ColorDoc.fm file, some of the styles havn't followed, but at least I am  up and running. Thanks anyway David for taking a look.

What is the path you mentioned the structapps.fm file for read/write rules

It should be full file path for read/write rules(including extension of file). Otherwise there is possibility of throwing the error you mentioned.

Would it be possible to paste your XML application defined in your structapps.fm file??

Thanks
