Hi:

In my ASP.net web app, I'm using a VFP COM object for data logic. When it instantiates, it looks into an INI file for location of VFP database. The INI file is necessary because location of data on network may change so I wanted it externally configurable.

The problem I'm having is with UNC's. When I point the INI at a database using UNC's like "\\someserver\somedirectory" it doesn't work in web environment, but works when I instantiate COM object from Command Window. In other words, when it instantiates in web environment path fails and when instantiate from Command Window it suceeds. Also, I have assigned the "Everyone" permission to data directory.

Thanx,
Charlie
