No takers on this one? It's a real oddity as the obj.Text should be
a string and work with the GetFolderItem call.
What's the text encoding of obj.text?
MacRoman (I've even made an explicit DefineEncoding call)
Have you tried assigning obj.text to a local string variable and then
use that in GetFolderitem? Maybe there's something funny with the
obj.text accessor when used directly as a parameter.
This will be my next test - thanks as I'd not considered that.
I've now converted the obj.Text to a local string variable and even
used a test for VarType = 8 on the "obj.Text" variable. Still the same
result - UnsupportedFormatException as soon as I call:
f = GetFolderItem(strPath, FolderItem.PathTypeShell)
Have you tried testing with that path as a literal string constant
just to understand whether the problem is related to the path itself
or the fact that it's arriving in obj.text?
Yes - this I have done.
Actually, I take that back as if I insert a separate GetFolderItem call
on a path, it is properly resolved. So now the question is what could
be different about the obj.Text string contents and my forced 'strPath2
= "/Users/tjones"' string value.
Could MacRoman be a bad encoding? I've now also tried .ASCII,
.MacRoman, and .SystemDefault
