FPW 2.6 doesn't support UNC notation (UNC support wasn't added to Windows until the advent of Win32, and was first added to FoxPro in part in VFP3.0 3.0, with full support added in 5.0. I still have problems in some environments with SYS(5) and UNCs, and have switched away from using SYS(5) as a result.) - he'll have this problem with virtually all 16 bit WinApps.
