Resolving full UNC path from file dialog....

[robmason10]

From with IE I need to be able to open a file dialog to specify where a certain file is stored for later retrieval. Natrually this path is stored in a DB and called on-demand.

The issue is that users will point the file dialog to files via their mapped drives and users 'may' have different drive mappings.

Is there anyway to force the selected file to be resoved and stored as full UNC?

i.e. User will select F:\documents\folder1\test.doc which when they save that location I want to store in the DB as \\myserver\share1\documents\folder1\test.doc

Thanks in advance...

Get them to navigate the proper network share UNC path, not a mapped drive.

I can't think of any other way to resoplve this.

I don't know how many users you have, but you could place a shortcut in their My Pictures folder which points to \\myserver\share1\documents\folder1\
