Sergey,

I guess you have found another error in the documentation then. When I run
lcFileName = "\\server\sharename\filename.txt"
?STRTRAN(lcFileName, "\", "\\")

I get "\\\\server\\sharename\\filename.txt"


>No, It will show "\\server\sharename\filename.txt". The vfp help also recomends this way.

>>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.
