Back End error

[Rabbit]

If M:\ is a network share, then M:\SomeFolder is a relative path because it doesn't include where M is mapped to.

If M on my computer is mapped to \\Server1\Folde r1 then the full UNC path is \\Server1\Folde r1\SomeFolder. It is unambiguous where the path is pointing to.

If M on your computer is mapped to \\Server2\Folde r2 then the full UNC path is \\Server2\Folde r2\SomeFolder.

This means that M:\SomeFolder can point to different locations for different users because M can be mapped differently. Using the full UNC path makes the location unambiguous.

Thanks for your suggested answers and other related information. The error was access rights being inherited from a different location, not the back end location. I found this out by right clicking on the BE, selecting properties, selecting security.


Thanks again, everyone!

That's fine Mark, but nothing's wasted. You've learned some important info about UNC references (Universal Naming Convention).

I agree, NeoPa. Thank you for the kind words; you're correct.
