Try it with path and foldername without spaces in it.
Or maybe enclose the path in "

You can remove this line if you don't use the shared files folder:

Thank you Manfred and Erel. I thought my app was corrupted...big relief!

Slightly OT tip, even after years, Windows *still* has the old DOS 8.3 short file names present!

So whenever a folder/file 'without spaces' (or other special characters) is recommended, rather than renaming the windows file/folder,
using "dir /x" in a command prompt will reveal the 8.3 equivalent which can be used.
Not necessarily recommended for long term use, and probably won't work at all for software release to other devices where the 8.3 names may different or not extst.
