Of course, data typing the variable containing UNC path first helped me with some prior issues I had in this regard.
Jan, most likely around 6 a.m. tomorrow morning you’ll have your solution – after the melatonin kicks in! Brad Davidson CIO, Director Aero-Craft Hydraulics, Inc.

Interestingly I had been using an & variable in the past and it worked. Turns out, I know need the . variable. That being said, the & variable is what's working for Brad. I'm too tired to think about this. I'll try again after the weekend.

So I'm trying to update some code that deals with a UNC connection. The code deletes a file. So if I map a drive, the code works i.e. DELETE Z:\deletethisfile.pdf However using an UNC drive throws a syntax error 2045 DELETE \\deletethisfile.pdf<https://url.emailprotection.link/?acAFKFhjpxVpYQyCeRydM421frBY2qVLcmdj53y22mco~> I want to use the UNC but how do I overcome the error. Thx in advance.
