Never mind - I just needed to supply c:\ as opposed to c:. It was very apparent in your email and I don't know why I had to ask. Guess it's early and my brain hasn't kicked in yet.

I checked and verified the folder does exist, I'm guessing the problem is that the directory is in the format c:folder instead of c:\folder.

That most likely is the problem, since those are (probably) different directories. c:folder refers to a directory or file named "folder" in the **current working directory** of C:, whereas c:\folder refers to a directory or file named "folder" in the root of C:. - James Jones Administrative Data Mgmt.
