So has anyone seen anything at all? I am at such a loss on why it will not open the file (not even a small one).

All of the debugging is showing that the proper path is being sent, and when I copy the output and then open it with notepad
 Quote:
c:\scripts> Notepad "\\serverx\d$\Inetpub\ftp logs\MSFTPSVC1\ex070102.log"
works just fine.

The exact output of a ? statement
 Quote:
? Chr(34)+"\\serverx\d$\Inetpub\ftp logs\MSFTPSVC1\ex" + Right($Filedate[0],2)+$Filedate[1]+$Filedate[2]+".log"+Chr(34)

Results in
 Quote:

"\\serverx\d$\Inetpub\ftp logs\MSFTPSVC1\ex070102.log"


When using a date range of any length, I get error 123 (not found) for each of the files that it attempts to open.

Any troubleshooting that you can pass on would be a great welcome.
