Defining network paths.

[Jasper Recto]

I have a statement that defines a network path"

ReportPath = "L:\Informa tion Technology\Publ ic\Report Procedures\"

When I run the program, it tells me that it can't recognize the argument:
'Technology\Pub lic\Report'
Why does it not notice the "Informatio n" and "Procedures " part of the path?
What do I need to put between the 2 words to recognize this path?

try:
ReportPath = "\"L:\Informati on Technology\Publ ic\Report Procedures\""
or
ReportPath = "\"L:\\Informat ion Technology\\Pub lic\\Report Procedures\\\""

Could you send some sample code showing the way you use that ReportPath ?

[Jasper Recto]

Re: Defining network paths.

Here is an example. The report path is determined earlier in the program.
Then it is plugged into the big statement.

ReportPath = "L:\Informa tion Technology\Publ ic\Report Procedure\"

ReportName = "HolsetToolsQty OnHand.p"

Private Sub Button1_Click(B yVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles Button1.Click

Progress = "V:\PROGRESS\bi n\prowin32.exe V:\VANTAGE\db\v antage.db -ininame
V:\VANTAGE\vant age.ini -pf V:\VANTAGE\db\V antage.pf -N TCP -H loc-vntg -S
epic52 -ld vantage -p " & ReportPath & ReportName & " -rand 2 -q -basekey
ini"

Report = Shell(Progress, 1)

End Sub

Thanks,

[cut]
I think you should use:

[cut]
epic52 -ld vantage -p """ & ReportPath & ReportName & """ -rand (and so on)
[cut]

Hope this helps.
