Illegal characters in path

[crusson]

(edited to add): this is in Visual Basic .net

I am at a complete loss...

I've been building a program on my machine, running it out of the developer with the f5 key and builidng it and running it off of my machine every once in a while. It works perfectly.

I built it and sent it to my co worker's machine to test it out and it returns an "Illegal characters in path" error when the line:

        Dim objReaderOpen1 As New System.IO.StreamReader(filenameOpen)

tries to run...

I am at a complete loss. What 'path' is it referring to? The path of my text file? The textfilename seems completely valid, no spaces or weird punctuation.

I kicked out a msgbox just before the line and the streamreader is trying to open
a txt file; "c:\cjrtest\bin \LineLogTemplat e.ini", which is what it should be calling

Any help would be appreciated.

the detailed error is:

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config ) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows. forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuratio n>
<system.windows .forms jitDebugging="t rue" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

I figures it out. The save file dialog threw a vbnewline character into the filename it was pumping out. For some reason, my computer ignored this character while other computers did not.
