FSO FolderExists

[sheykc]

I am trying to use the FolderExists method on the Filesystemobject. I'm using the unc name, ("\\servername\username&quot and if I check to see if my account exists, it works fine. However, if I put in someone elses name on the network, it tells me it doesn't exist (even though it does). So, if I try to create the user directory, it comes back and tells me it already exists.

Any ideas? Permissions issue perhaps?

If these are home directories and you don't have permission to access them, you will get that type of error.

Is there some sort of workaround then?

You could have your network administrator set you up as an administrator so that you can get to them. Are these home directories?

 

[sheykc]

Yes, they are home directories.

Unless you have permission to view them, you won't be able to get at them. It is totally a permissions issue.
