More hatefully, it is possible to create files on a windows filesystem which you cannot then manipulate in any way. This is because some of the core file manipulation api functions impose more stringent restrictions on what is a legal filename than the file creation function does. The idiot coders responsible for this seem to have assumed that files would only ever be created via Windows Explorer. But this is creeping far away from SQL hate. -- Bruce What would Edward Woodward do?
