Greetings: I am having trouble using the /= operator to open folders with spaces in the name, ex. "My Documents" or "Program Files". Here is an example code: path full_path("c:\"); string Fname="Program Files"; full_path/=Fname; It works for any Fname (folder name) that doesn't have a space. Let me know if you need more information. Thanks in advance. -N. Pierluissi --------------------------------- Never Miss an Email Stay connected with Yahoo! Mail on your mobile. Get started!
