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.
