relative file path to absolute?Hi: I'm writing VB6 code and I need to be able to be given a relative
file path (e.g. "N:\UserDir\somefile.txt" and turn it into an absolute path (e.g. "\\DumServer\folder1\somefile.txt"). Easy way to do that? russ Translating a Mapped Drive to a UNC Path

The problem is, of course, that multiple mappings may be in place for a given drive. IOW, there may be no _one_ correct answer to this question. Karl
Surely that's only a problem going in the other direction, no matter how many mappings there are of different parts of a given disc, the root UNC path will be the same. BTW I though "relative path" referred to a path with respect to the selected one, not a mapped one. Best Regards Dave O. Show quoteHide quote "Karl E.

You may be right. Thanks!
