The compiler claims there is an error with the following statement, and I just do not see it.
Filename$ "C:\FDBD\DirAll.dat"
Open Filename$ for Input access Read as #1
(There is an error in the above statement, but what?)
The following line works just fine.
Open "C:\FDBD\DirAll.dat" for Input access Read as #1
What is the difference??
I am honestly embarrassed to ask! 
I only want to open this file and make very sure I do not write to it, nor does anyone else on the network.
Thank you for your understanding.
