Well, at least you have a server to test it on. Thank you.
I am trying to resurrect a Windows 2003 Server VM and a Windows 7 VM
configured to have it's home directory on the server. I just got both to
run (finally) yesterday and just (at the end of teh day today) figured
out what the admin
After a little experimenting it appears that open file does not create a new
file on OS X mount points! I can open a file that already exists but it will
not create a new file. You learn something new every day!

there is a folder:
/volumes/mountpoint/ (osx)
or
//server/mountpoint/ (win)
For a given path tPath, I can tell if it is a windows
QUALIFIER: this is in Livecode on a Mac. Mac mount points work differently than
Windows. However using the form /volumes/mountpoint/folderpath/filename I get

Thanks for thought.
