I don't think files are allowed to contain question marks, where did you get that from? Also, taking a look at CreateFile() docs, there is a case where you should prepend "\\?\" to a path, ("\\\\?\\" in C), is that what you mean? Lastly, what exactly is your problem? What are you doing, what do you get and what would you expect instead? Uli -- Sator Laser GmbH Geschäftsführer: Thorsten Föcking, Amtsgericht Hamburg HR B62 932

I have seen an API that does "something" and I think it took either those paths or other ones.. Now what was it again... I will have a look around. I know I have seen *something* but I just don't remember exactly what it was and what it was called. -- Regards, Jackie
