I've never seen any performance problems with UNC paths. The only problem is when someone puts spaces in the share name... Reminds me: Recently deskshared into a Russian site in that had a problem. Dropped into a command prompt and typed 'net use' to try and guess the installation drive (it was a slow connection so I didn't want mess around). No mapped drives. Odd. Checked the shortcut and it was pointing to \\server\app\app.exe (the server was really called 'server'). Checked the .ini file and the paths were all pointing to \\server\app too. Apparently it all worked fine - which was news to me! -- Paul _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
