In a small business situation with 2 PCs on a network (not domain)
both running XP professional. Foxpro executable and development
environment is on PC1. Executable directory is shared. Runtimes and
shortcut to executable on PC2. PC2 cannot run the program because
there are references to the drive data files as c:\dir which, of
course, PC2 interprets as local.

I have tried making a network directory back to c:\dir and mapping it
to drive P on the development machine. Then changing all references
to c:\dir to p:\. This results in FILE ACCESS DENIED to the .dbc and
all data files even if the directory is set up with specific security
permissions to allow access. PC2 cannot access it through a mapped
drive with the same results. It simply will not run off a mapped
drive letter. Is there a way around this so we can share this
application in a workgroup environment? Will it work PC1 OS is
changed to a Server OS?

Thanks.

did you set exclusive off?
