Hi,

 

We are unable to access Excel file from shared locationin FME server, 

 

get error "XLSX Reader: Failed to open the dataset 'given Shared path'.  Error message was 'can't open file for reading' ,

 

but the same excel from local drive we are able to access without error.

 

 

Any idea

 

 

Regards

Hi,

 

 

I agree about the UNC issue posted by JohnG.

 

 

Also, verify that the account running the FME Server service has sufficient rights to the network share.
