invalid path (but I know its valid)

[jjrfm1]

I am using software qs2000 that uses microsoft office access database. The server drive is mapped correctly. I still get an invalid path error. but I am able to see it under my network tree everything is fine. I get the error when i try to use the program to connect to that databse from a sattelte computer, what else could cause the error?

It may be because your sattelite computer does not have the same network location mapped to the same Drive letter? So when it tries to run code or do anything that involves a mapped drive it fails. I always use the full UNC file (\\someserver\level1folder\level2folder) path instead of mapped drive (K:\level2folder) - takes these sort of problems out of the equation (I hope any way).

I too used the full UNC file. could there be something else blocking code? I can open the data folder just fine in the network tree. I was even able to save into that folder via network tree. but the actual software says the database is invalid path.
