A Z:\file you should be able to access like any drive if you have the
correct priviledges. If you can open the file useing a window explorer
then you should be able to just use getfile(). I don't know what the
problem you are having but I would first try your code on a file in the
d: drive just to make sure the code is working properly.

Some network files may no have local privildedges for you to access the
file dirrectly. they may have the same prilideges as a Web file.
because some files may be capable of being accessed through the
internet. You may need to use FTP (File Transfer Protocol) to access
the files which is used get get files and directories over the
Internet.

It would help to know what your intentions are going to be to get you
to use the corect protocol. the correct methos may be differet
depending if you were going to open the file/ Get the files size, get
file priviledges, etc.
