It turned out that the issue was that I was reading the data as

this was working, but now returned "can't open file". Changing the statement to
        put URL format("binfile:%s", tPath) into tData

Can you give some examples of what tPath is in these circumstances? Just to see what sort of paths the engine would have actually have been passing to Windows.

fixed the issue, so it's fine. But my question would be does anyone know what would have changed on the system to make this statement, that used to work, do so no longer?

I suspect Paul is right that this is UNC related - there have been some security options added related to UNC paths to windows (buried somewhere in the registry) so it could be that but I'm not 100% sure (I'll do some experimentation later on).

What version of Windows does the afflicted machine have?

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
