Hi 

  I am trying to send an email with an attachment but I am getting the following error. 

The folder in question was created by Blue Prism in the same process using the Utility File management create directory.  So there should be no security checks on it, only the standard ones .

Does BP require a special user to be added so that it can access folders? 

Thank you

Hi @RSHERRY

Please check the length of your attachment name, if it is greater than 64 characters including spaces this might result in the error that you've shared also I cannot see any extension in the filename which might be causing the issue.

Hi Rachael Sherry,

Are you able to create the file with the same name by  manually navigating the path ?

According to File.Delete Method...

An UnauthorizedAccessException means one of 4 things:

  • The caller does not have the required permission.
  • The file is an executable file that is in use.
  • Path is a directory.
  • Path specified a read-only file.

Copy the same path and try to open it manually and check whether your able to access it. Based on the outcome we will proceed further.
