PLEASE do read the posting guide! Without the error message you are 
seeing, help isn't possible (we can't see your screen, if we could, you 
should worry!). On Windows try to replace the file name with 
file.choose(), which will help you navigate to the file, but maybe that 
isn't your problem - without seeing the error message, we're none the 
wiser.
