Error 3044

[qureshi]

Hi,
My program used to read two text files and produce a result. I had to modify the program to read a third file. On the local computer it has no problem. On any other network computer (with VBruntime files installed) I get an error 3044 'C:\Backorder' isnt a valid path.

before, with only two files all computers with VBruntime files could run the program without any problems.

For a third file I have made a link table, but this is also the case with the other two files.

Looking at the properties of the database from local computer the location is c:\Backorder from any network computer it is \\ABC\c\Backorder.

What am i doing wrong.

Thanks in advance

Qureshi

If you have hardcoded the value 'C:\Backorder' into your code then the others machines will look at their local C: drives to find it.

If you need to hardcode, and want to look across a network, then use the '\\ABC\c\Backorder' format
