> Please show us the code where you try to open the file.

   FileIn = \\\\comp2\\c\\example.txt;
   if(FileExists(FileIn))
      iFileHandle = FileOpen(FileIn, fmOpenRead);
   else
      ShowMessage("  Unable to open "+ FileIn);//this line is always
executed until I connect to the computer with network neighborhood, then all
is fine.

you are correct, i am uning network neighborhood - just accessing it thru
explorer

> Did you map the networkdrive ?

it does not matter if the drive is networked or not.


another question: when you connect to a computer that has a password (using
network neighborhood ) you get a promt for the password and if you want to
save the password.  Is their an API function for this?

Thanks for your help
