[news.eclipse.newcomer] C++, fopen() not functioning?

[douglas.hobson.12@xxxxxxxxx (douglas )]

Hello,
I'm trying to open  a file with fopen(), the file is located in the CWD 
specified in the project properties yet is unable to open?

FILE *fp;
char* filename = "TrackOval.ppm";
fp = fopen( filename, "rb" );
if( fp == NULL )
{
	fprintf( stderr, "Cannot open file '%s'\n", filename );
	exit(0);
}

OutPut:
Cannot open file 'TrackOval.ppm'

CWD: C:\Users\Douglas\workspace\Proj\Debug
File Path: C:\Users\Douglas\workspace\Proj\Debug\TrasckOval.ppm

Looking for some help in solving this. Otherwise I may have to resort to 
not using eclipse!
Thanks.
