Hi I have a very similar problem. SAS is running on a remote linux server. I'm using a windows PC. I'm trying to export an excel file from SAS EG to the local PC C:\. The sys admin is telling me that's not possible. I don't believe him though because it is possible to do it with the export file wizard, so it seems to me it *must* be possible. I just can't work out how to do it in code. The export file wizard references "\\Client\C$\directory\subdir". When I try to write to that directory using code, it prepends the server name "\opt\prod\...". If I reverse the slash to direction the prepended server name goes away "//\\Client\C$\directory\subdir\" appears to use the right directory, but then I get an insufficient privileages message, even though I do of course have write privelages for "C:\directory\subdir". Any thoughts? I just don't see how it's plausible that this *can't* be done, given the export wizard can do it easily. Cheers Thomas
