Thanks, that solves the problem.  In fact this:

'\\\\mycoumputer\\myshare\\mypath'

appears to work as well as this:

'\\\\mycoumputer\myshare\mypath'

notice the double backslashes throughout the first path.  Is there a section
in the documentation regarding UNC paths? seems like it would be necessary
at this point.

Thanks again,

Andrew
