Hii,

I want to have a file which shall be edited daily by process owner and bot reads that file and processes that data .

We dont have shared drives like that , I want to store the file in such a way that it should be accessed by bot and can be edited by process owner.

Any ideas much appreciated.

Thanks,
Shabaz

Hi

I think there is no need of a shared drive provided if you and bot has access to a folder

That is we can keep the file on a simple folder in any drive you have where you have the access at one end and on other side we have provided that full path of that file to bot as well

So that you can make changes and bot can also access that file

No no, let me make it clear .

Inputfile.xlsx is the file .

I want to keep this file with xyz persons system native or vm system .

Bot is deployed on another vm with hostname xyz123etc .

Input file shall be on xyz persons system itself he will open it edit it that’s all…he will not have any access to the bot vm .
He will simply work on his file .

Now I want the bot to read the data from the input file edited by xyz person on his xyz system from bot deployed vm

Hope this is clear .

What I understand from your recommendation is you keep the bot and the file on the same machine correct ?
