At the same time it seems to be looking for the file in the windows system directory rather than the location specified. This second call to the COM server is based on a freshly loaded instance of the COM object so I can't figure out why or how the path is getting screwed up. Everything works fine if I hard code the location but then I have to maintain different versions for the development PC and the ultimate web server.

THanks Carlos
For some reason unknown to me I was not able to get Justpath(Application.ServerName)to work reliably for me. Sometimes it would return the proper value and other times it would not. Probably somethig quirky in my code. Sergey's solution seems to work OK, at least for the moment.
