J John Timney \(MVP\) Aug 25, 2006 #3 The system.io class has a directory exists method Directory.Exists(path) described here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.directory.exists.aspx As long as you have the authenticated rights to check that location it will tell you if a path exists.

M Morten Wennevik Oct 10, 2006 #7 Hi Alan, The article explains how to do string manipulation Basically, if you have a string of several \ where there should be only 1 you can do it like this string s = @"c:\windows\\microsoft.net\\\framework\\\"; while (s.IndexOf(@"\\") > -1) s = s.Replace(@"\\", @"\"); The @ means treat \ as a backslash, not as an escape character
