Summary:
The error message "Path not found: 'T:'" will occur if you try to open
a project with a directory name that is preceded with a hyphen (for
example, -TEST) in Microsoft Visual Basic programming system version
1.0 for Windows. The problem is due to the way Windows 3.0 interprets
directories with the Windows API function DlgDirSelect. The following
example reproduces the problem.
Steps to Reproduce Problem
--------------------------
1. Create a temporary directory named -TEST (a hyphen followed by
TEST) in your Visual Basic directory.
2. Start Visual Basic. From the File menu, choose Open Project.
3. You should be able to see the "-TEST" directory in the list box.
Try selecting or clicking on that directory. The error message
"Path not found: 'T:'" will be displayed.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Windows 3.0
operating environment (BUGLIST3.00). We are researching this problem
and will post new information here as it becomes available.
