Welcome to the idea2app forum!

I am trying to save/retrieve data for this little app to a common drive in a network but I am not having any success. I have attached the app as an attachment.


This is the name of the common drive in the network I want to save to: common (\\APPSRV01) (T:)

This is the code I am using: (No errors but does not build or retrieve from the T: drive.)

Code: Select all

   create folder (specialFolderPath ("Home") & "/common (\\appSRV01) (T:)" & "/Record_Data")  
  put specialFolderPath("Home") & "/common (\\appSRV01) (T:)/Record_Data/record.txt" into cLocation

Any help would be welcome

Hi John,

This sound like a file path issue as

Code: Select all

(specialFolderPath ("Home") & "/common (\\appSRV01) (T:)" & "/Record_Data")  

resolves to

Code: Select all

 "C:/Users/<username>/common (\\appSRV01) (T:)/Record_Data"

An easy way to find the correct file path to a given folder is by placing the below script in a button

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
answer folder "show me the path"
answer it
end mouseUp

This should inform you to whether the file path is correct or not.


Kind Regards,

Neil Roger
