AREV Specific

Drive() double bracket is reading as G:\AREV\\.

Arev 3.111

Just upgraded from Novel 4.11 to 6.0

NLM 1.5a

Has locking and speed is good only 3 users.

I'm worried the double bracket is a sign of bad things to come.

As an interim step, encapsulate the drive() function and call the encapsulated function instead. So imagine that all calls in your application were to ZDRIVE() and then make your ZDRIVE() function call DRIVE() and then handle the additional trailing slash.

Also check whether the Netware client has an option to deliver UNC names or canonical names and switch this on and off to see if you can alter the DRIVE() functionality.

What happens if you

OSOPEN DRIVE():'REVLOMSG' to handle then
call msg('Success','','','')
end else
call msg('Failed','','','')
end

If it works then you may not have a problem.
