sys(5) gives different result?

[shahatul]

I have a following code which gives me a different drive name in Window XP Professional or XP Home Edition. It works fine with Window 2000 or Win - 98.
for e.g., Window 2000 - &quot;F:\data\<filename>
Window XP - &quot;\\fs1\sys\data\&quot;
<< code start >>
Local cDocLocation, cDataDir
If empty(master.DataDir) && Field contains '\data\'
=MessageBox(&quot;Data Directory must set&quot
Else
cDataDir = alltrim(master.DataDir)
cDataDir = iif(rat(&quot;:&quot;, cDataDir) > 0, cDataDir, sys(5) ;
+ cDataDir)
Endif
<< code end >>
Any idea or anybody having same problem?

Thanks

Since sys(5) always returns the Default drive or volume name, it's really not an OS based result, but rather what your current DEFAULT is set to. e.g.

SET DEFAULT TO \\melange_41\win95
?SYS(5) && returns \\MELANGE_41\WIN95
SET DEFAULT TO f:\VFP70
?SYS(5) && returns F:

You'll need to change the code to allow for handling the \\server\volume variant as well as the drive.
