Hi Borislav,

I know you said "not very well tested" < s >

First, the word "NULL" in MS seems as mis-used as the word "cursor" is in VFP < s >.
I have been using a null STRING (i.e. "") for ServerName and UserID and it works fine but still ONLY for network users!

I did try yours as-is and still no joy... it does report 1 local user, for a directory.
I also tried specifying the tcBasePath, because I do need to specify a directory, and in that case it reports nothing at all.

Interestingly, if I connect on the local system using a mapped directory, it does provide a list when run as you had it. And still nothing at all if I try specifying the mapped name for tcBasePath.

I'd say this API is specific for NET files only, based on observation.

cheers, and THANKS for the try.
