BUG: OpenFile Doesn't Handle Forward Slash ("/") Character

 * }

Q111588

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) 3.1

-

SYMPTOMS
OpenFile does not correctly handle paths beginning with a forward slash character ("/") (for example, as in "x:/").

CAUSE
The forward slash character "/" is put into the normalized name as is, instead of being converted to a backslash character ("\"). OpenFile is not implemented to check for the forward slash character.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in Windows version 3.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
