is it possible to detect network computer + folder path with the WinApi::pathExists

Something like that : “\\other_computer\c:\tmp”

Thanks

If it internally uses PathFileExists (I can’t verify it because I don’t have AX 3), then it is supported. The documentation says:

A path specified by Universal Naming Convention (UNC) is limited to a file only; that is, \server\share\file is permitted. A UNC path to a server or server share is not permitted; that is, \server or \server\share.

IP works:

WinApi::pathExists(’\\172.17.2.230\Data’);
