Sadly, I don't think there will be a way (but would be nice to be proved wrong). You may instead need to put in a saved counter or time check of some kind so that version-info checks only happen occasionally for network drives, e.g. max once per day, or only every fifth invocation or some such. Could you perhaps rely on file datetime as an intervening proxy for version? Assuming file date checks work more quickly on network drives. cheers, peter _______________________________________________ NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi mailing list Post: [email protected] Admin: http://delphi.org.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi Unsubscribe: send an email to [email protected] with Subject: unsubscribe
