Hi there, I think this should be a fairly simple question, however I went to a big luncheon this afternoon and my brain is basically fried for the rest of the day. [sleeping]

I have a multi-user database and I want to add an application icon to it. The problem is that my users are in different locations. They all have access to the directory where the database is stored, but that directory is mapped differently on each user's PC. So my icons could be G:\AccessIcons or J:\AccessIcons or Z:\AccessIcons. (You get the picture)

How to I get around this problem? Isn't there a way to do absolute pathing? Is it valid in the application icon text box? What is the syntax? Maq [americanflag]

Hi,
Try using the UNC convention. It will result in something like this:

\\MyServer\C$\Program Files\aod\soaf\Man_sign1.ico

Hope it helps. Let me know what happens.


With regards,
PGK
 
That did the trick. Thanks for the syntax. Maq [americanflag]
