My app loads up the data from an external csv file, called in using a web component via http, using a "list from csv table" block

Everything works fine in my emulator, but with the compiled app I get this message on startup:

Syntax error: quote in unquoted cell (Cannot parse arguments to "list from csv table" as CSV- formated table)

The only option being to close the app.

I did find this on searching, but any answers don't seem to address the problem?

I went through my csv file and removed all " and ', but the problem persists.

Any suggestions?

I'll have to write one as the data I am using is sensitive. Back in a while :)

On further testing, seems my internal linux server is the cause of the problem (or the "ugh" Windows network servers around it providing the domain control and DNS - we have been having a few problems: DC's becoming tombstoned and lingering objects!)

However, sought another solution by using http authentication on an external server, which is sufficient for our needs. So thanks must go to Taifun for the blocks on calling files from a restricted area :)
