Hi!

lcFileName = "\\server\sharename\filename.txt"
ADDLISTITEM( STRTRAN(lcFileName, "\", "\\") )

Above will show "\\\server\\sharename\\filename.txt" in the list box instead of "\\server\sharename\filename.txt". Is not it? You require to duplicate just the first backslash, not all backslash characters in the entore string.
