what’s wrong with this picture

```auto

_global.base_URL = "C:\WINNT\Profiles\ssleeper\Desktop\14_Dynamic_Database\";
url_loc = this._url;

```

this is the error i get

> 

Scene=Poll, Layer=actions, Frame=1: Line 1: String literal was not properly terminated  
\_global.base\_URL = "C:\WINNT\Profiles\ssleeper\Desktop\14\_Dynamic\_Database";

Scene=Poll, Layer=actions, Frame=1: Line 2: ‘;’ expected  
url\_loc = this.\_url;

it’s a URL so you have to end it with a / and not a \ like i had it since for testing it is a local address
