I had an issue with this a couple years ago on an earlier PC.  I had 3
partitions and 2 CD drives in the machine, so the second CD drive mapped
automatically to G:.  At the same time, one of the network drives also
mapped to G:.  Windows decided that while I was connected to the
network, I could not access the second CD.  However, some Euphoria DOS
programs decided that the CD was G: and there was no network drive.  I
solved this issue by forcing the second CD to map to a different drive
letter (like Z:).  I suppose I could have just as easily had the network
script changed to map the network drive to Z:.  One option that I didn't
try becuase it wasn't available at the time was running the patch that
made Euphoria a Windows 4.0 program rather than a 3.1 program.

Hello all,
In my prog using win32lib I use the getOpenFileName to retrieve from a
user 
the filename and path. This all works well, I then save this filename
and 
path to open it automatically next time the prog is used, again all
works 
well.

Until the user has the file on a network drive. Then for some reason it
can 
not find the file.

Any clues as to how to overcome this? I don't know what type of network
this 
client of mine has, does it matter?

Thanks
Tony
