Hi!

Thats not correct, because only first backslash will be wanished for disabling status.
The workarounds here:
1. Add one backslash - iif(left(m.lcFileName,1)=='\','\'+m.lcFileName,m.lcFileName). Than set enabled property to .F. and back to .T. to re-enable all list items.
2. Add a space for each list item. This way you get rid problem at all, but beware about trimming (LTrim() or AllTrim()) of that extra leading space.

HTH.

lcFileName = "\\server\sharename\filename.txt"
