FileSystem problem with UNC paths

Author	Message
Bob #1 / 3	FileSystem problem with UNC paths Dim filename As String = FileSystem.Dir(remotedir, FileAttribute.Normal) This statement works with local directories, with UNC paths I get this: "System.IO.IOException: Bad file name or number. at Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.IOUtils.FindFirstFile(Assembly assem, String PathName, FileAttributes Attributes) at Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileSystem.Dir(String Pathname, FileAttribute Attributes) at blah blah blah..." Er, what do I do? Bob

Bharat Patel [MSF #2 / 3	FileSystem problem with UNC paths It will work only if you have List Folders and other needed permissions on the remotedir. I tested it out on my machine and it worked fine. However, I have full permissions on the remoteDir. Hope this helps! Bharat Patel Microsoft, Visual Basic .NET This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Bob #3 / 3	FileSystem problem with UNC paths Everyone already has full control for the directory and its containing share that I need to read :( Even though the FileSystem object doesn't work with it, FileListBox does and I'm resorting to using that now.
