Really..... hope you can help
I need to be able to set current directory without making an api call as change to Windows 7 client machine has restrictions.
Currently using
Private Declare Function SetCurrentDirectory Lib "kernel32" Alias "setCurrentDirectoryA" (ByVal lpPathName As String) As Long
I am probably misunderstanding, but maybe:
ChDrive "D"
ChDir "D:\2010\_Tmp\2010-09-17\"
BTW, at least on my poor ol' laptop, this fails:
Alias "setCurrentDirectoryA"
This succeeds:
Alias "SetCurrentDirectoryA"

Hi no unfortunately it was a typo when posting here rather than a typo in the code...
its for the network name rather than a local Drive letter (although I may have to go down that road).
