load xml file

[junkone]

when i try to load a xmlfile, it seems to be looking at
Could not find file 'E:\Program Files\NinjaTrader 6.5\bin\settings.xml'.

how can i force it to look at the strategies folder or in \NinjaTrader 6.5\bin\Custom folder

xmlDoc.Load(Application.StartupPath+ "\\" + "settings.xml");

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

It seems as though you installed NinjaTrader on a different drive. Try installing on the default C:\Drive.

what difference would that make. it would then look for the file under
c:\Program Files\NinjaTrader 6.5\bin\settings.xml'.

i like to leave it as is as my e: is my data drive. what application setting or config can i use for my strategy to look for the file under strategies folder or in \NinjaTrader 6.5\bin\Custom folder

junkone,

You can try absolute file pathing with @"C:\Documents and Settings\User\NinjaTrader 6.5\...."
