Is there a way i could set up a connection to the folder

[Qlikuser09]

when i tried to set my file path,

set vDataDir = 'lib://finance/Payment/';

set vFileMatch = 'Account*';

I get the error 

The following error occurred:

Connection not found:

Is there a way i could manually set up a connection using data load editor

I can't see anything in your code that indicates you should get an error from setting the variables. 

Did you actually create a Data Connection yet to your directory? If you named your data connection finance, then your set would point to wherever that is, and the subidrectory Payment within that structure. 

In this screen shot notice that I have a connector named "QVDs". I am combining that with a dollar sign expansion of a table name. But there is no reason the variable can't contain the Lib://QVDs as well, but make no mistake about it ... the starting part of the LIB has to point to a real connection.
