FE Path Problem

[Golfinray]

All my users except one have their P: drive set to P:\users. One has their P:
path set to P:users\Fileshare. The one user I load the FE on their My
Documents and it trys to go to the path of the BE located in
P:\users\Fileshare and says error becuase the FE links to P:\users, not
P:users\fileshare. How do I fix this? Thanks!!!

If you use share names (e.g. "P:") you run the risk that not all users have
the same shares named the same way (oh wait, that's the problem you are
having!<g>).

Instead, use UNC naming to connect from a FE to the BE. It will look more
like:

\\servername\folder\...

Good luck!

It sounds like all your users are executing the same copy of the FE? If so,
that's been shown to significantly increase the corruption risk. Each user
should be copying the server's copy of the FE to their local workstation
drive and running it from there.
