>I've recently started having problems on XP with mapped network drives. The user logs on fine and the mapped drive shows up fine in 'My Computer'. But when the user launches the application it tells them the database is not found on the mapped drive. If you double click the mapped drive and relaunch the application then everything is fine. But the user must double click on the mapped drive in My Computer or the VFP application does not see it. Any ideas on how to get around this problem? It seems almost a daily occurance now.

For example, if a W2K Pro W/S is started first, then an XP Pro W/S later, at first the W2K Pro machine will be the browse master, but after the XP machine starts an election will be forced which the XP Pro machine will win. Check your event log for browse master related events.
