Hi,

Very interesting problem.

I have a shared folder on a server mapped to a drive letter, say "Z".

FILE("Z:\folder\filename.ext") always returns false on Vista with VFP 7 SP1
exe build.
It works on Windows 2000 and XP machines.
Running as administrator does not solve this problem.

FILE(\\Servername\....\filename.ext) works, but I can't use this.

Anyone else experiencing this problem or knows a solution?

Thanks,

Eran

Running "net use Z: \\Servername\SharedFolder" from a command prompt solved
the problem.

I guess its a bug in Vista when using the "Map Network Drive" wizard.

Hope this helps others.
