It wasn't a mistyped path.... but it was my making a mistake! In my lack of Windows knowledge, I thought that the volume was mounted - but actually that was a server that was 'accessible', but with none of it's volume's mounted.

Thanks to everyone for their assistance.

Have your program do a sample write to that location and get

That's too smart.  For me that's the second thing I do, but when I do in
addition to checking the result I also include a call to the sysError function
so I can learn what the OS might be telling me.

The first thing I do is assume I mistyped the path, so I'll run something like
this in the Message Box to double-check it:

  answer file "Select your file:"; put it
