Did you try using Server.MapPath(myname)? The string result should be the same as what you're passing in, but I had something similar a few years back which was solved by this for some unknown reason.
Might be worth a try.

I pull the filename from a field in a database and put the path into a variable. 1) dim myname myname = objRSReport("Path") response.write myname ^-The above response.write looks like this: d:\rb\Reports\test.rpt 2) This is my code to get the last modified date: Dim fs,f Set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set f=fs.GetFile(myname) Response.Write(" File created: " & f.DateCreated) set f=nothing set fs=nothing ^-This returns a 'File Not Found' error. 3) But if I hardcode the path as follows it works, how come? Dim fs,f Set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set f=fs.GetFile("d:\rb\Reports\test.rpt") Response.Write(" File created: " & f.DateCreated) set f=nothing set fs=nothing --------------------------------------------------------------------- Home : http://groups.yahoo.com/group/active-server-pages --------------------------------------------------------------------- Post : [email protected] Subscribe : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Yahoo!
