Directory()

Hi Fo(l)x,

cPath = (connected network path e.g. "x:\test")
Directory(cPath) returns .t. even if the network cable is disconnected

How to do determine the access to the network location without
reading/writing files from/to "cPath"

I assume you're using a drive mapping, right? I think that the DIRECTORY()
return value is correct, even though the network cable is disconnected,
because the mapping itself (X:) still exists. What you can do is using
ADIR().

?ADIR(testarray, "X:\*.*")
?TYPE("testarray") && u

or

?ADIR(testarray, "X:\*.*", "V")
?testarray[1]
?DIRECTORY(testarray[1]) && .F.
