Hi @Analitika 

There's not quite enough information to go on here.

Can you please share the XLS_Source query that is generating the error.

From what I can make out you have a query called CSV which reads the file c:\csv.txt to get a path which is referenced by another query Settings_Path.

Is that then used in XLS_Source?

Please provide as much information as possible, like all the queries.

Phil
