Trouble with Win2K Shares

[axslinger]

Greetings,<br><br>I recently converted a company over to a Win2k Server, which was formerly a peer-to-peer network.&nbsp;&nbsp;One of the applications that two of the workstations used was an old DOS app (First Choice).&nbsp;&nbsp;One of the two workstations had all of the data files.&nbsp;&nbsp;On the second workstation, I set a share on the 'server' workstation to be the working directory.&nbsp;&nbsp;This worked out fine.&nbsp;&nbsp;However, now that I have the data on the Win2K server, I can't open some of the files.&nbsp;&nbsp;The DOS app basically uses two file types.&nbsp;&nbsp;One is a simple *.doc file, and the other is *.fol, which I believe is a database file.&nbsp;&nbsp;I can open the *.doc files from a workstation with no problems, but when I try to open a *.fol file, the app gives the messasge &quot;Enter a valid path and file name&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp;Even if I type in the full path, I still get the same message.&nbsp;&nbsp;I know it's an old app, and they should probably replace it, however for now I still have the problem.&nbsp;&nbsp;Any ideas?<br><br>Brian

Are you trying to access the file via a UNC path? If so, try mapping a drive to the share and then accessing it as if it were a local path. <p>Doug<br><a href=mailto:dxd_2000@yahoo.com>dxd_2000@yahoo.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
