Hi Ole,

I am using 3.0.1. We just purchased the pro version last week.  I downloaded this off your website a little over a week ago (went from trial to registered version).  If I use ${projectDir} in the File Field of the Datasource path (Excel is my datasource) it ignores it and thinks I'm looking on C:\> for the file.

Example:

${projectDir}\serverinfo.xls (have also tried without the slash, forward slash, double back slashes)

I will get:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\serverinfo.xls (The system cannot find the path specified)

If I enter just "serverinfo.xls" into the File: field I get a similar error.  It doesn't seem to be recognizing ${projectDir} at all when I use it in a property or filename field.  Is there something else I can check or is it possible this doesn't work?  I have never had a previous version of SoapUI on the VM I'm working from.

Thanks!

Mary
