Well, we could run GetFullPathName() on it (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa364963.aspx). I think that should work - takes out the "relative vs absolute path" part at least. It won't take care of somebody having a junction pointing at the data directory and starting it against that one, but that's really someone *trying* to break the system. You wouldn't do that by mistake... Seems worthwhile to you? If so I can take a look at doing it when I get some spare time. //Magnus ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
