Ken, I tried your suggestion, but still no luck. I don't like using mapped network drives because the letter assignment can be anything, thus making it hard to manage on various machines. But I may have to resort to that for this situation. If you (or anyone else) think of any other possibilities please post your ideas to the list.
Thanks.
