RE: Opening a document on a server

Jay,

I think you may have too many slashes and missing the drive:

file:///C:/Oscar/Felix/myfile.xml

Subject:  Opening a document on a server

Hi, all,

I need to open a file on a server from within my stylesheet. Suppose the

server is named Oscar and has a directory named Felix.

document('file:////Oscar/Felix/myfile.xml')

did not work (though some web surfing for ways to do this had made me
think it would).

Anyone know how to open that file from inside my stylesheet?

I am using Saxon 8.4.

Thanks.
