find a file in Support File Search Path

[Anonymous]

Hi,
i'm inserting a dwg file as block to my drawing, but although the file is in a location, that's listed in Support File Search Path, this code throws exception eFileNotFound

sourceDb.ReadDwgFile(dwgName, FileShare.Read, True, "")

how can i locate a file just by his name, when i know, that it's located in Support File Search Path?

Dim dwgPath As String = HostApplicationServices.Current.FindFile(dwgName, db, FindFileHint.Default)
