Create directrory structure on Network

[redeemasp]

Hi there

I've wrote a piece of code that creates directory structure on a network.

I've tested this on my local drive and it creates the folder fine.

When I can the path to the network path, I keep getting an 'could not find the path' error. I've check my acces rights to the network and they are full control.

Any ideas?

Regards

Lee

Post an example of your code and where it errors as without it we have nothing to go on.

here you go. A simple directory creation:

Dim selection As String = ddlProjectlist.SelectedItem.Text()
Dim folderchoice As String

Select Case (selection)
Case 11111
folderchoice = "Contractual"
Case 11112
folderchoice = "Research materials"
End Select

'System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory("\\islington\Data\Test\CG\" & folderchoice)
System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory("\\islington\data\Test\CG\" & folderchoice)
'Create folder

If it's failing on the CreateDirectory method then it is one of two problems:

1) The path doesn't exist
2) You don't have the correct permissions

You can eliminate problem one by pasting "\\islington\Data\Test\CG\" into the address bar in windows explorer and see what the results are. If this works then it's problem 2. When you say "I've check my acces rights to the network and they are full control", what do you mean by "my access rights" i.e. what user account are you referring to?
