...is there some way to do this?

I can deploy the application just fine. The problem arises when I try to do anything with the application. Specifically, I have a button that, when clicked on, will open a file dialog so, I can find the Excel spreadsheet I need to use. This, however, is not occurring; and I am getting the below error instead:

"9/25/2009 12:19:46 PMSystem.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file 'C:\Documents and Settings\wm101b\Local Settings\Apps\2.0\LKYXJ54A.13X\03B7W0L0.WPX\dmat..tion_f515c9447fd99336_0001.0000_19417796a528647b\Content Item Report- 07092009.xlsx'.

I know why the exception is being thrown - it cannot find the file. I just don't know how to include the file in the deployment process to avoid it. It is NOT an elegant solution to have to copy this file to the 'Locals' folder just to get it to work initially.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks for the help kaymaf! My setup is built and the files are where they need to be for the app to run.
