Thanx. It is good to know that I'm not crazy and someone else has had this happen to them also. What did you use to simulate File() and Directory()?

>>I am using a vfp exe com server and a vfp mtdll com server for vfp-.net interop. I am experiencing differences between the 2 com servers in how they interact with the operating system, which is win 2k server.
>>
>>My asp.net application is using impersonation so that I can use vfp tables on different computers on my peer to peer network.

>>The vfp exe com server has no problem issuing a command like:
>>
>> if Directory(“h:\Data\”)
>> do something….
>> Else
>> Do something else…..
>> endif
>>However, the same exact command issued by the mtdll com server always returns .F. for if Directory(). I am able to get around the limitations by discontinuing the use of impersonation and falling back to an ASPNET user. I guess the impersonated user is missing the local security policy to read the directory info.

>>Therfore: does anyone know what policy my impersonated user needs to be able to read directory info. Hopefully this will enable the mtdll version of if Directory() to work properly.
