    <p>Please, My Java application is suppose to access an external folder which contains some other files. It was working perfectly under the Netbeans IDE but not when i run the (jar) file alone. I thought including the external desired folder within the same path as the jar file will solve the issue but sadly it gave me the same results. </p> <p>Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated! </p> <p>Thanks in Advance!</p> <p>P.S: I am using the following command: java -jar MyJarFile.jar </p> <p>[Added]</p> <p><strong>My File structure:</strong> </p> <p>In the main folder of the project i have the following: </p> <p><strong>build<br> build.xml<br> Data: Inside this folder is my log file (log.dat).<br> dist: Inside this folder is my (.Jar) file.<br> manifest.mf<br> nbproject<br> README<br> src</strong> </p> <p>The code to access the file is written as follows: </p> <p><strong>File logs_File = new File("Data" + File.separator + "log.dat");</strong></p> <p>Again within my NB it is working this way but not when i lunch the .Jar file.</p> <p><strong>[Updated]</strong></p> <p>Up to know, i have been trying the following: </p> <p>The file to access the file looks as follows now: File logs_File = new File(this.getClass().getResource("/Data/log.dat").toString());</p> <p>Then i copied the Data folder to following directories:<br> <strong>src<br> build/classes/<br> dist</strong><br> <strong>and in the main directory</strong> </p> <p>And still it is not seeing the file. Though this time not even netbeans is able to locate the file.</p> <p>Thanks in advance for your help</p>

    1. COincluding the external folder within the same path... - that doesn't really make much sense. first up - what's the exact error you're facing? is there an exception, or is the external folder inaccessible? or...?

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.
