>By the way, what is UNC?

>>>Howdy and grand rising,
>>>
>>>Receiving the attached error message. The Syslog.dbf is the database i am using to capture my errors. My question is why it's looking for that file in my c: drive. I have the application on my home server identified as T: drive. Is it necessary to hard code paths?????
>>
>>No, but make sure they're available. The mapped drives (see other threads these days, there was another to the same effect, active today) are unreliable. They may be disconnected at any time and for various reasons, and they're supposedly reconnecting on demand, but VFP isn't on the list of apps who know how to ask for it, it was discontinued before that became customary.
>>
>>So use UNC. The reason it's looking at this location is that, in absence of T: drive, it looks at the folder at hand, and that's where the desktop shortcut was.
Regards. Al
