I know I have read in the FoxPro help files that you should not use UNC paths. This was a while ago. Does anyone know if this still applies to VFP 9?

We now have to use them in one case where our small VFP 9 .EXE is run as a background service. Because it is starting as a service (which starts under a new user) there is no existing net work path mapping. We had to use UNC paths to the data on the network. It seems to run fine and very fast.
