Thread: Use network Share with FSO

Use network Share with FSO Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

I am writing a routine using the FSO to navigate to a folder. The code works fine with a mapped drive (K:\Blah\Blab) but won't work with the path of a network share (\\Blahblah\blah\blab). Is it possible to get the FSO to use the path of the network share? Thanks

According to this: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa711216(VS.71).aspx

You can't - "ChDrive cannot handle UNC paths"

I tried this a while back and couldn't find any way then. Maybe someone knows a way around this?

Hi,

I am not sure, what you are looking for, because you aren't talking about the ChDrive function - which means ignore my reply, if I have completly misunderstood your question

The FileSystem object itself has no problems handling UNC pathes. I use a lot of scripts with references to UNC pathes.

An example (with no real sense):

Private Const MY_DEST_PATH = "\\server\public\temp\iata_neu.txt" ' destination path and name
Private Const MY_File = "\\server\public\temp\iata.txt" ' path to yor file
call main
sub main
Dim fso, file

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set file = fso.GetFile(MY_File)
file.copy(MY_DEST_PATH)

Set fso = Nothing
Set file = Nothing
end sub

The main issue dealing with UNC and network share depends on the security settings.
