I spent all morning on this problem with no resolution, yet I know there's gotta be a way.
Problem: My Inventory Lookup screen has the ability to launch graphic images into a user's default image viewer. End-users love it. One end-user now wants it in their remote showrooms. I've modified the program to determine if the session is CA, then to use a $(BITMAP) directory alias to grab image instead of going to the network. This works fine. The setup for installing this at all remote PCs is to have the customer make a CD of all the scans and send it out to the showrooms. I would like to automate the process of insuring that A) Directory Alias $(BITMAP) is created on the remote PC, and B) That the
underlying folder for this alias is created.
I've tried (VerifyFile) and (CopyFile). I believe CopyFile is the preferred method now, is that correct? No combination of flags has done what I want. I want to create the directory alias if it's not there, I want to create the underlying folder if it's not there, I don't want to transfer any file at all but simply insure that the structure is there. What mnemonic and what flags do I use?
Tom.
