Amby19 Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 I've searched extensively on MSDN and elsewhere, but I can't find an answer to this question: Is a UNC path string that is also relative syntactically valid? For example, are any of the following path strings syntactically valid? (regardless of whether they make logical sense or redundant or meaningful or not): \\srv\shr1\.. \\srv\shr1\dir1\dir2\.. \\srv\shr1\dir1\dir2\. \\srv\shr1\. \\srv\shr1\.. \\srv\. \\srv\shr1\dir1\.. \\ Thanks!

catgate Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 I think I have seen that the matter of their being coerced is important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your reply, but I regret that I'm apparently too under-informed to understand it. In any case, I'm now virtually certain that a path string that contains both UNC and relative components is syntactically invalid, so unless you or someone else informs me otherwise, that's what I'll go with. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
