Emmitt You are correct, the code works from the workstation and can create the folder across the network but it fails on the local computer.
So, it seems maybe I need to map the same drive letter to the scanned folder on the local computer as the workstation. I know I may not be explaining this correctly and correct me if I am wrong but is the workstation calls the ScannedFolder Z then I need to map the ScannedFolder to Z on the local computer too so the path will be correct? If that is possible, I have very little network knowledge if you couldn't tell.

I let the user set a default folder for the scanned files and store it in a table Then I build a path and filename something like C:\Scanned Files\JohnSmith123\ then I SET VAR vChkFile = (CHKFILE(.vScanpath)) IF vChkFile <> 1 THEN MD pathfilename ENDIF The problem is on a network they have to have the default folder something like Z:\ or \\backcomputer\abc using either of these I can't do the MD command. So it seems I can't create a folder across a network or I am missing something. Any suggestions?

Any suggestions on how to orginize 30,000 scanned files? I remember years ago there were limits to the number of files per folder but I have not heard anything about that the last few years Thanks Marc
