Ok, I want to spread teh risk in a backup procedure. I have usually 3 NT4w's networked together. I am using Dynazip to make the archive.

I want to reference another machine's drive, and I cannot assume that there is a map establised. This will be delivered to thousands of installed locations in the next year.

*-- my file list
ThisForm.Dzocx11.ItemList = "\vitech\data\*.*"
*-- Test on use of my laptop
lczipfilename="\\SCR_LAPTOP\$c\Store0"+lcStore+'-';
+left(cmonth(date()),3)+alltrim(str(day(date())))+right(str(year(date())),2)

ThisForm.Dzocx11.ZIPFile = lczipfilename

I get the error back from dynazip that I cannot make the file.

What am I missing.

Also will thisd change in W2K? Better to ask now then to get burned!
