When I go into "Map Network Drive" on my NT, it comes up with drive H:. Under
path it lists

\\8100NTSERVER\8100 Files

I have tried

a=findfile('\\8100NTSERVER\8100 Files')

This does not work.

Anybody have any suggestions?

thanks-Peter Brooker

I tried it and it did not seem to work. No string value was returned.
