>>1) Other than the set printer to name on Windows NT, does VFP handle or process the non drive letter mapped volumes with the Universal Naming Code: \\servername\ResourceNameLikeVolumeOrPrinter
>>2) If VFP has other uses for the UNC than set printer to name on Windows NT, what are they and how do we use them?

The main problem in VFP3 with Universal Naming Conventions was that the \\servername was limited to 8 characters. If the name was eight characters or less, it worked fine.
