HI,

If there is no proper folder structure then go for Absolute path to find the exact location

if Folder structure is available then go for relative path

( doesn't mean only to use Relative paths can use both)

paths are very important when you have excel files and schedule apps for reload from server

relative paths are best choice if you

  • use different Servers (e.g dev, test or production server)
  • you want to test yourapplication in your development environment on different drives and/or paths
