a novel question?
Sorry, had to do it.
Anyway, I have an app that copies files from a windows server using UNC path names. The app is on the client machine and copies files from a file server usins a shared folder. The drive is not mapped, it is just a shared folder.
Anyway, a new client has a Novell file server available. Does anyone know if a similar process of using FileCopy to copy files from a share will work with a Novell file server?
B.T.W. the client won't be able to test this for a couple weeks, and we don't have any internal Novell file servers, so I thought I'd ask away at my favorite forumn
thanks

As long as folder is shared and accessible - you shouldn't have no worries at all.

the client is also saying that users need to login to server.
any ideas how to do that in the background?....I mean with VB....or will Novell automatically make a login request if the VB app tries to copy a file from the server?

As far as I remember there is no need to login - everything is configurable on the server. Admin must set group access permission and as long as user is part fo that group it should be ok.
