Joe,
As I explain earlier, I save in a RealSQLDB the reference to 3
folderItem, using this code
app.DossierAppa = f.GetSaveInfo(f,0) //app.DossierAppa is a String Property
...
rec.Column("Appa_Folder") = EncodeBase64(DossierAppa)
etc...
When I start the app I need to check if the Folders are still in their
respective place as stored in the DB.
I use the following code which works fine as long as one of the folder
(ie. DossierApp in my example) is missing.
DossierAppa = DecodeBase64(rsPATH.Field("Appa_folder").Value)
// msgbox DossierAppa
dim ff As FolderItem
ff = new FolderItem(DossierAppa)
if ff = Nil then
// Folder not found
else
// Folder found
end if
The code returns the error message in : ff = new FolderItem(DossierAppa)
If the Folder is on the right place then, everything is smooth,
therefore it let me think that the value stored in "DossierAppa" is correct.
Any idea?
Best Regards,
Youri

Then the path is not empty but nontheless an invalid format. I'm
tuning in late here, so maybe that's why I don't understand why this is
a big deal. If given an invalid format, an exception is exactly what
is supposed to happen. Just use try/catch to catch it, display a nice
error message to the user, and go on to more interesting things.
Also note that if this isn't a user-entered path, but rather you're
trying to save and restore a FolderItem reference within your own code,
then you shouldn't be using paths at all. Use GetSaveInfo, if you're
not already doing so.
HTH,
