John,
Good question. Notice my "whatever it does" at the end of my post. And, yes, I meant what you stated.
I do know as I am sure you do that a mapped drive will appear and behave very much the same way as if the physical folder were actually in the local computer and assigned a drive letter. Normally, shortcuts to shares on a server or application connecting to a shared database accomplish the same thing, but it can be advantageous and sometimes necessary for a program to use a mapped drive. eMedware is one of those programs. You HAVE to map the entire folder for it to work properly.
Obviously, this is not true with AC, but given Alberto was stating he was having issues with paths, I thought this may give him a more stable path on each client. It was just a thought. Easy enough to do.
One other comment about one of Alberto's post. He asked, "How does the main computer not find itself?" A program has to find a database whether it is on the server or on a computer a hundred miles away.
