Thanks Hi Vane, I am not to sure I really understand what your question is here, could you exand it a bit please. Are you running the LabVIEW development environment on both the PC's ? and you just want a method for both VI's to know the absolute path to these shared folder is ? Quote Link to comment
Swinders Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Could you use an UNC path of the form \\ComputerName\SharedFolder\Resource Something like: \\192.168.1.1\LabVIEW\temp.txt Quote Link to comment
Elset Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Could you use an UNC path of the form \\ComputerName\SharedFolder\Resource Something like: \\192.168.1.1\LabVIEW\temp.txt I think you can also do \\ComputerName\LabVIEW\temp.txt Quote Link to comment
unicorn Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 192.168.1.1 is a local network address which might change. If you have assigned a drive letter for a network drive, why not using this? Quote Link to comment
Dan Freve Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 If you're looking to convert a drive-letter type path into the universal path name (UNC), I've written a VI to do this: http://www.dmcinfo.com/Blog/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/110/UNC-Paths-in-LabVIEW.aspx Quote Link to comment
