You don't have to refer by drive letter. You can use

SET DEFAULT TO \\ServerName\Path

Hi

myPath = JUSTPATHGETDIR("","","",16384))

Look in this thread also...

myPath = GETDIR("","","",64))

Remove the extra parenthesis.
Also note that this is only valid in VFP 7 & 8

Hi, i'm using VFP 5.0 and I need to get a network drive and store it on a dbf, or how to get a path in a network.

I try to use ChrisRChamberlain option, but only return path on the same machine not when i look on a network drive.


thanks

Have you tried mapping the drive? VFP 5, 6, 7 & 8 all see a mapped drive as it would the C drive.

I also use the followiong.

SET PATH TO ADDBS(SYS(5)+SYS(2003))

If it a good habit to include the ADDBS (add backslash) function in case the drive is on the root.
