How to "read" a directory

delfonce

Hello,

In my database (3.70), when the user releases an order, the system writes a file in a specific directory.
But how can I know if the user can connect to this directory ? (because if he can't connect, I want to display him a message and the order won't be released and the file won't be created.)
Thanks
Delphine

Hello Delphine.

You can use 'Microsoft Scripting Runtime'.FileSystemObject to test for user-connection to the specific folder. It's working with both local and shared folders. 'Microsoft Scripting Runtime' should be a standard feature in any Windows installation.

OK, I'm going to see.

Thank you !

The methods f.OPEN and f.CREATE returns FALSE if the file cannot be created.

IF NOT f.CREATE(...) THEN
ERROR('Cannot create files to release the order');
