    <p>Okay I know questions similar to this have been asked but none seem to adequately answer my situation. So I have this bit of code:</p> <pre><code>String old = @"C:\emsdropbox\" + readData.Substring(0, readData.IndexOf("renamed")); String newFile = @"C:\emsdropbox\" + readData.Substring(readData.IndexOf("renamed") + 8, readData.Length-(readData.IndexOf("renamed") + 9)); Console.WriteLine(old + " : " + newFile); old = Regex.Replace(old, @"\'", ""); newFile = Regex.Replace(newFile, @"\'", ""); old = old.Trim(); newFile = newFile.Trim(); Console.WriteLine(old + " : " + newFile); System.IO.File.Move(old, newFile);&lt;/code&gt; </code></pre> <p>and from the two writeLines you get:</p> <pre><code> 1. 'C:\emsdropbox\finally2.txt' : 'C:\emsdropbox\finally3.txt' 2. C:\emsdropbox\finally2.txt : C:\emsdropbox\finally3.txt </code></pre> <p>but it continues to give this error:</p> <pre><code>mSystem.ArgumentException: Illegal characters in path. at System.IO.Path.CheckInvalidPathChars(String path) at System.IO.Path.NormalizePathFast(String path, Boolean fullCheck) at System.IO.Path.GetFullPathInternal(String path) at System.IO.File.Move(String sourceFileName, String destFileName) at TCPListener.getMessage()e this error &lt;/code&gt; </code></pre> <p>I imagine its because of the : but how am I supposed to reference the file without that?</p> <p>this was my next try after someone suggested path.combine:</p> <pre><code>String oldData = readData.Substring(0, readData.IndexOf("renamed")); oldData = Regex.Replace(oldData, @"\'", ""); String newData = readData.Substring(readData.IndexOf("renamed") + 8, readData.Length-(readData.IndexOf("renamed") + 9)); newData = Regex.Replace(newData, @"\'", ""); String old = System.IO.Path.Combine(@"C:\emsdropbox\",oldData); String newFile = System.IO.Path.Combine(@"C:\emsdropbox\", newData); System.IO.File.Move(old, newFile); </code></pre> <p>the result was the same</p> <pre><code>illegal Characters in path at System.IO.Path.CheckInvalidPathChars(String path) at System.IO.Path.Combine(String path1, String path2) at TCPListener.getMessage() </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
