>When a built-in function like DIRECTORY(), FILE() or FCREATE() is passed a UNC-path that does not (no longer) exist, it takes a very long time to tell you that. Is there an API function that can tell this much quicker?
Hi Peter
I don't know whether this works with UNC Paths but you can try. I too found this problem long ago and after that started using DISKSPACE(). This returns a -1 immediately if the path is not found and the DiskSize if found. No waiting. The reply is instant.
Try it and see.
