Question

WindowsError: [Error 123] The filename,          


        

Answer 1

As it solved the problem, I put it as an answer.

Don't use single and double quotes, especially when you define a raw string with r in front of it.

The correct call is then

path = r"C:\Apps\CorVu\DATA\Reports\AlliD\Monthly Commission Reports\Output\pdcom1"

or

path = r'C:\Apps\CorVu\DATA\Reports\AlliD\Monthly Commission Reports\Output\pdcom1'
