Ajas, Let me guess here that you are using a Windows operating system? UNC (Universal Naming Convention) network paths allow for double backslash in network paths. What this means is that a double backslash is valid for lower folders.
E.g. \\fooServer\sharingFolder\\subfolder will still navigate to \\fooServer\sharingFolder\subfolder This is a network layer concern and not an application layer concern. Teddy R.
