shell instruction do not recognize name of computer in a local network

[alextijuca]

Hello.



I have a Shell instruction that accesses a Word file in the C: correctly. However, when I connect that computer into a local network and give it a name, and also change the path in the instruction to reach the file, it doesn´t reach the file anymore and returns an error saying "file not found".

The instruction originally is:
test = Shell("winword.EXE c:\Autos_2001\Edit01_alimentos.doc", 3)

Then I changed it to:
test = Shell("winword.EXE \\fiscais1\c:\Autos_2001\Edit01_alimentos.doc", 3)

"fiscais1" is the name of the computer in the network.

I wonder if the Shell instruction has a limitation on the path size or something like that.

Thanks for any help.

Don't use letter path designation with UNC path.

test = Shell("winword.EXE \\fiscais1\Autos_2001\Edit01_alimentos.doc", 3)
