LaTeX forum ⇒ General ⇒ Can't find file error Topic is solved

Hello,

I have just installed miktex and texnic center on a new windows 10 computer. When I compile my tex files, I get a " I can't find file .\fileName.tex"

I've tried moving the file but I get the same error.

Welcome to the forum!

What is the name of your document file?

I think I've figured it out. When I remove the spaces and specials characters from the file name, it compiles. I will have to do additional testing to confirm.

Very good! Avoid spaces and non-ASCII characters in file names but also in file paths.

Though for graphics, the grffile package can help, regarding images with spaces in file names:

\usepackage{grffile}
