Hi Tommy,

UNC is not a command, it's another way of referencing resources on a server. It follows the convention \\ServerName\ShareName as a minimum, and that path points to the ShareName share on the ServerName server.

So, if the Net Use command you want to use is something like

NET USE g: \\Server\Data

then the \\Server\Data is a UNC path.

BTW, UNC stands for Universal Naming Convention (I think)

VFP handles UNC paths just as well as mapped or local paths.

As an aside, there's an example showing how to convert between a mapped path and a UNC path on my website

Cheers,

Andrew
