I have an out of process VFP executable that functions a middle tier with a VB 6.0 front-end.

My app allows the user to choose which middle tier machine to use.

When I run the app on bbyrd and select bbyrd as the middle tier I get no error. But when I run the app and select MTX1 as the middle tier I get an error in my error log that "\\mtx1\lm2\data\lm2.d*" does not exist.

The line of code that is executing is trying to copy a DBC set of files. The EXACT same code works fine locally.

The actual UNC string is being picked up from an INI file.


What could be causing the remote middle tier to not see the qualified UNC. I have checked the UNC against what the remote middle tier machine can actally see and it should work.

I think I have really done a VERY thorough job of eliminating most of the obvious suspects. What do you think?
