Is there some function a-la "Dir" which works with UNC references?

I think 'Dir' should work with UNC's. It does on my machine anyway. Durkin

O.K. then what is wrong with the following?

SrchName = Dir(Dirs(ThisDir), vbDirectory)

Error "Path Not Found", but the UNC is copied directly from explorer. "Focused" on the network path ("\\Machelle\c).

?dirs(ThisDir)
\\Machelle\c:

Also, I can occassionally get a "Bad File name or number" error with variations of putting a "HardCoded" path (w/ UNC). What I cannot seen to do is get a file (directory) name returned.

O.K. Again. Sorry for the Bad question. I got it figured out -at least in the simple sense. It just looks like I need to loose the colon. Why I don't know, but at least it appears to work.
