Dos Error 2 : Access from network

[Milan Mehta]

Dear All,

I am using May-2006 build. When I try to access an application from the network, it gives me Dos error 2. However when I map that drive, I do not face that problem.

Can someone help ?

TIA
Milan.

Milan,

DOS error 2 means the file can not be found. When you map the drive, its found and there is no error.

Dear Antonio,

No my problem is like this :

Suppose using My computer I go \\server\c\test and then click on abc.exe, dos error 2 occurs.

Instead I map \\server\c to Z: drive and then go z:\test\ and click on abc.exe DOS error 2 do not occur.

This was not happening before. Even my pure xHarbour code works fine.

Can you shed light on what am I doing wrong ?

TIA
Milan.

Dear Antonio,

My fault. To explain you more, that error occurs only when it tries to open a dbf file. Rest works fine.

TIA
Milan.

Milan,

Can you try modify file host in windows\system32\drivers\etc with:

computername ip

Milan,

I always put this code at the top of my programs to prevent that.

Code: Select all

   // prevent "DOS error 2. File not Found"
   set default to (cFilePath( GetModuleFileName( GetInstance() ) ))
