Hidding Files

[DeBauer]

I tried hidding an html file my program uses and after I hide it using

Call SetAttr("m.html",vbHidden)

It gives me a runtime error, and when I take that command out it works fine. How can I get around this?


-thanks

What's the runtime error you get?

Surely, your not using just "m.html", you specified a path, correct?

...such as App.Path & "\m.html"...

Mere coincidence.

Yea im using just "m.html". It hid it.

You should use a path as well. If it's in your program's directory, use App.Path.

SetAttr App.Path & "\m.html", vbHidden

Safer and surer to use a path with a file, not just a single filename.

Or you could just use a period.

SetAttr ".\m.html", vbHidden

Okay, I used
SetAttr App.Path & "\m.html", vbHidden
but I got the same error:
Runtime error 75 path/file access error error

[filburt1]

Is m.html in the same directory as your project?

[DeBauer]

yep, it only happens when I hide it.

[Matthew Gates]

Are you saying that your hiding it and then trying to hide it again?
