Create Network Drive File

Express 2010

I author a C DLL that supports a VB app. My C DLL gets a string & file path from the VB app, it then writes the string to the file - simple enough.

My DLL fails when the folder is on the network drive (Ex: File from VB \\\\FR010A\\uidu8973$O$\\FCom\\F\\Key.bin). Note that the VB app uses Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments) to get the path of My Docs.

I wish to solve this - any suggestions?

code:
//write file
if ( ! fopen_s(&fs,f,"wb") )
{
fprintf(fs,"%s",String);
fflush(fs);
fclose(fs);
success = true;
}
else
{
PrintDebug("fopen_s() failed!\n");
}

When you try to access the same location manually what happens? Perhaps that location is read-only. You should be able to print the specific error when your fopen fails.

It is not that old programmers are any smarter or code better, it is just that they have made the same stupid mistake so many times that it is second nature to fix it.
