NO !!  do NOT mix drive letters and still think you have the exact same path

as for the SMB question, the issue is new, but seems to be the same "oplocks 
and caching" issue.. if you don't do ALL machines, the ones you don't do, 
can create the problems

in either case, looking for reasons to NOT do it completely right, 
completely the same, is looking for reasons to allow it to fail.. paradox 
tables and indexes are a collection of files that MUST be written out 
concurrently.. one mistake, access to the table stops

disagree:

as i know, exactly means the whole path should by the same but the drive
letter. this can change on each workstation.

period #2 ?

i think read this as i was much younger and never had problems with it.


additional question to smb1.
i activate smb1 on win10 (and if necessary all others since win 7) again.
but is it necessary to be activated on all pcs within a network, or just
workstations? i.e. is it necessary for "server" too, or server don't need
it?

thanks for the answer.
