1. File paths
--part1_fc.1d83af3f.2aaaa303_boundary
Hello all,
In my prog using win32lib I use the getOpenFileName to retrieve from a user
the filename and path. This all works well, I then save this filename and
path to open it automatically next time the prog is used, again all works
well.
Until the user has the file on a network drive. Then for some reason it can
not find the file.
Any clues as to how to overcome this? I don't know what type of network this
client of mine has, does it matter?
Thanks
Tony

2. Re: File paths
I had an issue with this a couple years ago on an earlier PC. I had 3
partitions and 2 CD drives in the machine, so the second CD drive mapped
automatically to G:. At the same time, one of the network drives also
mapped to G:. Windows decided that while I was connected to the
network, I could not access the second CD. However, some Euphoria DOS
programs decided that the CD was G: and there was no network drive. I
solved this issue by forcing the second CD to map to a different drive
letter (like Z:). I suppose I could have just as easily had the network
script changed to map the network drive to Z:. One option that I didn't
try becuase it wasn't available at the time was running the patch that
made Euphoria a Windows 4.0 program rather than a 3.1 program.
