Alan, I have seen slow response times accessing files in the UNC \\server\share. I see better response when the data is deeper, such as \\server\share\program. Most of my customers have less problems with speed and data access when they use a mapped drive. >From my observations, mapped drives to \\server\share where the x:\program is faster access. It doesn't matter what drive letter is used for my program. The "Start in" property of the Icon Properties determines where the program files reside.
