>I want to share C:\somedir\somesub to the net. I have a hidden administrative share at C:\ called C$, another more restrictive public share at C:\ called Croot, a share of c:\somedir called c_somedir, a less restrictive hidden share of c:\somedir called CSubdirhid$, and three shares of c:\somedir\somesub called share1, share2 and share3, all with different access permissions. Which is the correct one to resolve a reference to C:\SomeDir\Somesub\MyTable.DBF? All can be used.

Ah, now I understand. It's really ugly! I'm going to check out ADSI.

Thanks again for all your help!
