Hi,
  I am trying to find out whether a given folder is a readonly or not. The
code below works great if the folder is on a local drive but does not work if
it is a UNC Path.

  The attributes returns 48 for UNC and I am not sure what that is and for
Local drive it returns 17 (Readonly)

  Any help regards in this is greatly appreciated.  

CODE:
------
      Dim checkFile As System.IO.DirectoryInfo
       checkFile = New System.IO.DirectoryInfo("\\server\production\data")
       Dim attributeReader As System.IO.FileAttributes
       attributeReader = checkFile.Attributes
       If (attributeReader And System.IO.FileAttributes.ReadOnly) > 0 Then
           MsgBox("Directory is read only")
       Else
           MsgBox("Can write")
       End If

Thanks
