>I am at the point in my application development that I want to use Universal Naming Conventions versus drive letters for our Novell VFP system. Does anyone have any advice or precautions, or any tools that they can point me to that will ease my transition from drive letters to UNC. Also don't be afraid to tell me that I should keep drive letter mappings and that UNC has major problems in VFP 6.0 still. I am just looking for some advice from others who may have gone doen this road already.

We converted Drive Mapping to UNC about 3 months ago. We are using VFP 5.0 and NT Server. Two problems surfaced. 1. The Post Setup Executable textbox in the Setup wizard will not accept UNC. Since we are using a loader/installer, we just moved the Post Setup to our internal loader. 2. Developers at home, off-net, could no longer test the apps. We had to allow drive mapping as an alternative, for them. All else worked great.
