That would be true.  CF is running as a service and doesn't have access to any "mapped drives".  We find that using UNC naming works great ( \\server\share\dir\dir\file.dbf).


As you also found out the CF Service needs to be running as a user who has rights to the share and directory you want to access.

In my Microsoft ODBC config, I was using a mapped drive to get to the other box where the dbf resided. Once I changed it to use an IP, CF now sees the dbf. Go figure.
