I have a path, "\\anything\file.txt"

the function

f=openfile(path$) always return 0

The interesting thing is that if I create a virtual disk (moving the directory over "my pc" icon, and so creating a "x:" drive that points there, I can not use, too, f=openfile("X:file.txt")

Also, even if I place the main exe in the remote directory, so f=openfile("file.txt") it will not work.

ReadFile does work in any case.

Something wrong I am making?
