Thanks. Can see the logic but many users are going to presume that they
can load from "their" desktop. For now I can operate around the issue
but will have to place instructions in big letters unless I want to
answer this adnauseum.

Two commands on fails the other succeeds:
Fails :
select import_sharedata('C:\\Documents and

Succeeds:
select import_sharedata('C:\\EzyChart-20050721');
is it the spaces in the path that postgres does not like? If
so how do I format the enquiry pls?
Failure message indicates that It can not access the file.
However the file is downloaded to my destop and thus has been
created with my permissions.
I assume import_sharedate() is a server-side function. In this case, the
*service account* needs permissions, not you. And don't grant it to your
desktop - that's generallyi a bad idea :-) Use a shared dir somewhere
that both you and the service accoutn has permissions on.
