Check the full error if you have logged it anywhere. It hsould indicate which line of code is giving error. Then you would be able to find the file path used in it and you will come to know the cause.

Hi Ramesh,
Ya you may be correct. i am getting 2 file name paths from server. so the admin rights may be the cause of this problem. i will check. thanks.

Hi Karthikeyan,

You may hard coded the directory path for reading the XML file from computer. In that place you may hardcoded your computer directory path, while accessing it in client computer , it will search the same path.. Behind the reason you are getting this issue I think. sometimes access issue may happen, ex :c:\\windows\\ directory can only accessible by administrators. check your directory path first.
