Can't Xlookup into Q&A anymore.

Either I'm doing something wrong, or we lost the ability to xlookup into a Q&A DTF file. Q&A uses security, but my Sesame ap does not....could that be the issue? Is this addressed in the manual somewhere?

Here's the program:
var vname as string = ""

vname = @xlookup("c:\q&a\Vendor.dtf", "Shaw", "LOOKUP NAME","NAME")
writeln(vname)
IF @ERROR THEN WRITELN("ERROR OCCURED")

Writeln window returns blank. No error message.

The Vendor.dtf file sits on the SERVER's Drive C:
Lookup Name is the field name in Q&A
Name is the field name in Q&A that I want to retrieve

Thanks for the help!

OH, it looks like I found my answer in the Sesame Users Manual on page 403.
