Hey Mike,

Sound advice! Guess I may have been lucky so far.

Yes, with no problems thus far. Changing the path to the data is easily handled in config.fpw. But I see the logic of your approach. About the only time I use mapped drives today is for ease of backups.

Yepper. I was looking for the case that caused the problem, and if it was still reproducible. If it was versions ago, it may well have been fixed by now. Just trying to avoid land mines, you know...

Thanks.
