How to write a file to shared drive

[heartland]

Hi,

It sounds strange. Write a file to local drive works fine. However,
the same code does not work with shared drive if I use "\\shared drive
\project\file.csv" as filepath. Is it the problem of CSV writer? or
something else?

Thanks in advance.

CsvWriter has no problems writing to a UNC path like the one you're
describing, so it's got to be another issue, so let me list the things
I would try. If you use the EXACT same program with the EXACT same
code, just substituting in a local path, it works? If you run it in
debug mode and grab the running value of the directory and copy it
into windows explorer, does it pull up? Is there a file out there
already by that name that is marked as readonly? Is your program
running as you or under a different login? Does that other login have
permissions?

Hi,

Thanks for your help. It was the problem of that specific drive. CSV writer is just fine. BTW, can you give me a trick about how to write a column that is enclosed within a set of quotes such as:

"FileFormat", "number 10-22"

It's not really something that is settable at that level. The original
intention was to not support the concept of requiring columns to have
quotes even though none of the data in the field requires it, so it
will by default quote the field if there's a comma in the field or
other significant characters along the same line. The only other
current option is to set all fields that the writer writes to have
quotes by setting the ForceQualifier setting to true. I suppose you
could set this option on and off before writing out certain fields as
it doesn't cache the setting and will look it up as it is writing the
data.

Hi Bruce,

I am glad that I asked. It works fine. I was struggling to play with
different trick. three sets of quotes, four set and so on. Always got
none or three.
Thanks again.
