ExamineDirectory fails
ExamineDirectory fails
I have an Ethernet attached storage drive on my system. ExamineDirectory fails when I attempt to access it. Changing the path to a different device works just fine. If I first access the drive using PathRequester to get the path I want, it works fine. It fails when the path is hard coded in the program.
Re: ExamineDirectory fails
What exactly is hard-coded? Can you post it? Because don't network paths have to use double backslashes (\\) instead of single (\)? We need more info to help.

Hi Dude,
The path is hard coded as a string. The network drive is mapped to my system as a "local" drive. The string is identical to the string I get when I use PathRequester.
However, I just tried a test using the network path name with the "\\" and it worked! So, at least now I have a work-around.
I still do not understand why PathRequester works using the logical drive assignment but ExamineDirectory does not when using an identical text string.
Thank you.
