Normally all of the scripts that we use are run off of individual C:\ drives.

We also all have access to a common networked 'shared' drive 'S:\'. (I will put the script on the S:\ shared drive, and each user will go to S:\ and copy it onto there desktop or something so it is run on C:\ as normal)


We are getting rid of our shared S:\ drive soon and we will have a different server to store stuff on, but it will not have a drive letter associated with it.


Typically in code, I will type
#Include S:\Path\file.ahk
and have found that this also works
#Include //path/path_serv/file.ahk


But on the other hand, RUN, does not work for this. (The '/' slashes i mean)


Has anyone had expereince with this, changing root directory names to server file paths and stuff? will all of my scripts continue to function if migrated? I am not 'scared' per say, but I am not an IT person really, and do not know how the migration will effect things downstream. If at all.

are you sure that it is // and not \\?

I do not know the actual file path or anything yet, as the move has not happened. Sadly, I cannt even test this at this time, to even know if it is \\ vs // or anything. I was thinking of a simple "IfExist" check on a single file, but I don't even have a path to work with at this time.

All I DO know, is that someone informed me that we will be losing S:\ access, and said all external server access is done through: "//something/something/something/".

#Include S:\Path\file.ahk
#Include //path/path_serv/file.ahk
Both point to the same exact file and work.


Is that why the 'Run' command is not working, becuase I am using the web/server slashes, and not the HD backslash? '/' vs '\'

If worst comes to worst, I can rework things to just use #Includes, as opposed to 'run' commands, but what other things (if any) would be messed up aside from that?


I dont know... I just know that I have spent all this time on all of these scripts, and am paranoid that the teams will no longer be able to use them.

you can always map your own netwrk drive (well, usually) so you can keep things at S: while they really point to that address.
