Your code is broken. You need to fix your code. If you posted your code, I'm sure I could have told you exactly what is wrong. As it stands, I suggest stepping through your code in the debugger, and examining the variables you use to build this path, to see your error.

The file path is wrong, also something wrong in your code. Please always include code in your question so that you can solutions quickly.

I hope you are using FolderBrowserDialog, use RootFolder property.
Example for FolderBrowserDialog in C#[^]

Your code is assuming that the current directory never changes. This just isn't the case. You should ALWAYS build fully qualified paths to any files you're going to use. Do NOT use CurrentDirectory or some equivilent to see wha tthe current directory is. If you have to get to files in your .EXE's folder, then get the path to the .EXE first (using Application.StartupPath or an equivilent), then add your path information to that.
