The guy claims to have mapped to the directory in question but still could not access the foxpro tables. The phone software can only access data via IP.

I just tried this through my home network, and it worked:
USE "\\192.168.0.100\sharename\PROGRAM FILES\some app\some.DBF"
So as long as you got permissions enough (which I do have for this machine, but not for the other one), this should work... as fast as network permits.
