I am importing a csv into a datagrid. For testing I used

on ReadDataFile
    answer file "Select a file"
   
   put URL ("file:" & it ) into tFileContents
   
   Put tFileContents into field "text" on Card "Database" 
   
   put line 1 of tFileContents into tColumnTitles    ## Creates Columns from the contents of the CSV's first line 
   replace comma with return in tColumnTitles
   set the dgProp["columns"] of group "AppData" on Card "Database" to tColumnTitles
   
   delete line 1 of tFileContents
   replace "," with tab in tFileContents
   Put tFileContents into field "text" on Card "Database" 
   set the dgText of group "AppData" on Card "Database" to tFileContents
end ReadDataFile

It worked perfect. Now I want to hard code the data location to a file located in the "/Data/info.csv" It will always be located in a sub-directory of the application

I have tried using the same convention as video or photos paths - But nothing worked
put URL ("file:/Data/info.csv") into tFileContents
put URL ("file:Data/info.csv") into tFileContents

I know this is simple but it is driving me crazy...Help
