FileCopy Fails on Win2000, Works on XP

[TunaAdmiral]

Hi!

I recently deployed a program that prints a file to a network-shared printer. It was written in VB.NET 2003. The program works fine on numerous Windows XP machines, but fails miserably on Windows 2000 machines.

I keep receiving error: System.IO.FileNotFoundException "\\mycompany\HP8150A"

Does Windows 2000 have a problem resolving UNC path names?

The code in question is pasted below.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

'Target file (printer) selected here
Private Sub RadioButton1_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RadioButton1.CheckedChanged
p = "\\mycompany\HP8150A"
Button4.Enabled = True
End Sub


'Source file selected. FileCopy performed to Target printer.
g = "H:\Projects\files\barcode.pcl"
Dim f11 As New System.IO.FileInfo(g)
If f11.Exists() Then
FileCopy(g, p)
Else
MsgBox("Missing File barcode.pcl!", vbOKOnly & vbExclamation, "Error")
Form1.ActiveForm.Focus()
End If

Dimandja - Thanks for the reply, but I'm not sure how it relates to my question.

Some more detail for my question. I can perform the copy from the windows command prompt with no problem. It is only the VB.NET program that is failing to perform the copy. The VB.NET program works wonderfully on XP, just not on Windows 2000.

Thanks in advance for any help on this issue!
