Hello, experts!

I am having a problem with an Access 97 application. It
includes a VBA procedure that makes a backup copy of the
application's data files. The procedure works just fine
on Windows 98 machines, but it fails on 2 computers that
were upgraded to XP. It appears the error occurs when I
use the "Dir()" function to check for the existence of
the data and backup folders on the network.

Does anyone know what I need to do differently with XP
machines so that network folders can be located using "Dir
()"?

THANKS for your help!
