>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.

The last time there was trouble with UNCs was in VFP6 sp2 or sp3. The executable's startup code would find the runtime, and then the runtime couldn't find the executable again if it was on an UNC. Fixed in the next SP.

The only other issue is that JustDrive() function doesn't return servername if the path given is an UNC, but sys(5) does.
