open a folder

[sbrady]

all this script does is open 2 different folders. everything is perfect until you get to opening the folder on the server (10.10.10.10). That window opens but the position is not what my code says, and I have to manually stop the script from running because it like it gets stuck.

any ideas

            $the_month = @MON    ; get the month 11
            $the_day = @mday        ;get the day 09
            $the_year = @YEAR   ;get the year 12
            $the_year2 = StringTrimLeft ($the_year,2)
            $todays_promo1 = $the_month & "-" & $the_day & "-" & $the_year2 & " Promos NPR" ;10-15-12 Promos NPR

            $NPR_PROMO_FOLDER = "E:\Nuendo Projects CR6\Promos\" & $todays_promo1
               
            ; make the NPR folder at the usual location
            DirCreate($NPR_PROMO_FOLDER) ; 10-15-12 Promo NPR

Hi sbrady,

remove the ending backslash "" at the end of the network path, so it should work
