Hi me again

Now I am practising in file access. I have opened files in various of my folders and done some work on them, no problem. But now I want to open a file on another network computer, how do I go around in doing so ?? I have searched all over the MSDN library I am probably not typeing in the correct search syntax or something... could you take few minutes to help me out guys and girls ??

The Computer name is ABC and the file is in folder FOLDERTEST...

Thanks

I am able to do it if I map the drive first to a Drive letter like Z for example but I want to be able to do it with out having to map it before.....
"Z:\\ABC\\FOLDERTEST" - works but not "\\\ABC\\FOLDERTEST"

Melvik, Coderforrent no ideas ?

Sorry but I guess u should map it!!! r u going to do this stuff in a Software or what?! what r these Files?! what r they about!? r there ur Codes?! I didnt get:D

It is going to be a directory on another computer with just plain order info in .txt format. I want a Client watching that folder and polling like every 5 secs to see if there is a new order to read in. I want to be able to have this Client on different computers and not having to worry about mapping it on each computer I set up the Client on....

Do u have to use Text file?! r u sure u dont need any DataBase?!
Using DB is more easier & ...
if u need it, u can map it & check reconnect at login.
Its not bad, if they need to read a file!!!

It is going to be little handheld computers uploading small .txt files to a server and then these Clients are going to read these .txt files and import them into the database... Am I doing this all wrong ?

Why can the handheld computer not access the database? What about the handhelds accessing a web service?

I could use web services I guess.

Well these handhelds aren't always in internet range, so I thought I would make them batch the orders when out of range, into a .txt file and then upload it when in-range...

Dear ZiqXx: I still think that using DB is much better but if u wanna use .TXT files I guess u have to map it!
