At any rate, is there a solution here? There's also the possibility
that the drive may already be mapped to the system, in which case it
needs to know what the drive letter is and write to it.
Have you tried Buddy API? I've had situations where Buddy worked and
FileXtra didn't, on similar

yes...
Is the network drive assigned a letter on the local machine?
I see from your other notes that the routine is supposed to do that,
so to modify my question, does it make any difference
How would I use Buddy API in this case?

Hmm, I just confirmed the problem with FileXtra3 on my little network with

Buddy has a lot of the same file management functions as FileXtra. You can
check on the existence of folders and files, copy files, create folders,
and so on. I've found that Buddy works in cases where FileXtra fails,
especially on Windows. I'll admit
Kerry,
I just did a test in the message window:
put drivesToList()
-- [A:, C:, D:, E:, F:, H:]
H: in my case is a mapped network drive. Which means that it does
recognise the Drives - as long as they're mapped.
put DirectoryToList (H:\karinas)

Hi Kerry -
Sorry, you're going to have to go to fileXtra3. The original fileXtra
does *not* support UNC (or whatever the acronym is) paths, ie:
\\machine-name\drive\directory.
I got burned by this a long time ago - FileIO does but FileXtra does
NOT. Apparently this has been fixed in FileXtra3.
I know nothing about FileXtra, but I do know that NT chokes on long
file names.
True, though I think that's on the workstation side. The NT server seems to
serve them up ok, as long as your workstation can handle them.
Anyway, I fixed the problem--I'm using Buddy API baFileExists() instead of

Thanks, Tab--been there, done that :-)
Buddy was the answer--FileXtra doesn't seem to like network volumes.
Cordially,

That's good--I hadn't looked into that function.
The environment I'm writing for, schools, won't necessarily have the
volumes

I'm getting an error -51, Specified Volume Does Not Exist from a

The volume is an NT 4.0 server, and I'm getting the path from the

Hi Kerry,
1) Inspect the variable via a 'put' or in the debugger just to make sure
you built it right.
2) Presuming that you did, and it wasn't a simple error, then probably I
would guess that fileXtra doesn't like network volume specifications. I

I'm using the FileXtra. According to Macromedia site it shipped with

Could there be a problem with this Xtra running in 8?

Could there be a problem with this Xtra running in 8?
I don't think so. It's still on the D8.5 CD in the goodies folder. It
wasn't obviously available in D8 or 8.5 because Save As Java was not
a standard install option, but the FileXtra and UIHelper area still
around.

I don't know of any problems using the FileXtra. But you can get the

I don't think it shipped with D8. It used to be in D7 under the Save as
Java section, and since Save as Java I don't think made it to D8, I suspect
someone forgot to rescue FileXtra from oblivion and restore it to the
general population. You'll have to get it from a D7 disk, I'm afraid.

That's it. Exactly. Thank You so much.
Still I find it a little strange of Macromedia to install this essential
Xtra with SaveAsJava only.

Hi Conrad. FileIO and FileXtra can't really be compared as such. The two
Xtras perform very different but complimentary operations. FileIO is used
to open, read and write to text files. FileXtra is used to perform a number
of File related operations such as listing available drives, checking
