Hello!   
  
 When “Read Text File” fails to open a file (if the file does not exist), it stops the build - all good there. I have an MsgBox call in AfterAction script, which gets executed, but not any further lines below. Is this normal?!   
  
 Regards, Dan

Never mind; all that was happening that the .Echo calls weren’t being displayed if file was not found.
