report appendlayout: problem with dot character in path

Hello

i have and report .TDR file on a netword drive, which looks like this

E:\.Folder\tpl\1.TDR

Call Report.AppendLayout("E:\.Folder\tpl\1.TDR")

when i append it, it triggers error: "Error while opening the file "E:\.Folder\tpl\1.TDR"

---------------

When i move the file out of a folder with "." on the beginnig, it works fine. And i dont know how to deal with it, i tried doublequotte it, escape it, replace with chr(46), but still triggers error and i cant rename the folder with dot on the beginning.

any suggestion how to make it working? is it a bug that it triggers the error? 

Thanks
