unc no longer recognised in Office 2003 vba

[Linda K]

I have a lot of vba macros (Word, Excel) which use the unc (universal naming
convention) to identify file paths. They all (still) work perfectly in
Office 2000, however they always fall over at the point where the unc is
called if run under Office 2003.

Any ideas please ...

OMG... If true... Ummm, "downgrade?" (I never "upgraded" beyond Office 2000,
myself.)

The only other alternatives are to check to see if the UNC in question is mapped to a
drive, or to map it yourself.

Someone tell us we're dreaming...?
