"exactly" means "exactly".. if one app thinks f:\myapp is the same place as
the other app thinking it's p:\myapp, they don't know they're sharing and
you WILL get corruption when the files get written to
"exactly" means "exactly".. period !!

hi steven,
a question:

what means EXACTLY exactly?
e.g. i've an app installed on the drive P:\MyApp
NET DIR is set to P:\MyApp
then I share the whole drive P: within the network.
and have one (or more) worstations (ws1, ws2, ...).
eg. ws1 access the drive as N:
the ws2 as Z:
...
and on ws1 the NET DIR is set to N:\MyApp
on ws2 to Z:\MyApp
...
i.e. all pcs points to the same directory MyApp on the "server" drive P:
do you see any problems? and if yes, why?
thanks
Ivan
