Re: Access Denied error on calling CFile::GetStatus() function

The code you listed wouldn't work for CFileFind. You need to call something
like:

f.FindFile(_T(\\\\myserver\\resource\\path\\*.*));

Here is the example from the docs:

CFileFind finder;

BOOL bWorking = finder.FindFile("*.*");
while (bWorking) {
      bWorking = finder.FindNextFile();
      cout << (LPCTSTR) finder.GetFileName() << endl;
}

Are you sure the folder is really there? Perhaps last error is just set
from a previous call to something. Did you try calling SetLastError(0)
before doing the GetStatus() call? If you are looking for a folder you
could try ::PathIsDirectory().

One more thing on GetStatus()... don't put the &fs, just put fs. The call
is expecting a reference, not a pointere.

CFilestatus fs;

CFile::GetStatus(_T("C:\\MyFiles\\MyFile"),fs);
