how does one format a path to a network drive in a Win app, such that
it is resolvable by any client on the network?
what i mean is that i belong to a workgroup that uses client s/w that
works on network accessible files. everyone's network drives are mapped
differently. what i have mapped as my Z: drive, someone else might have
mapped as Q:. My Z: may also be mapped directly to the most used folder
on that drive, where the other's Q: may be mapped to a parent folder,
further up the tree.
When i use my client and "Browse" to add a particular file from "Z:"
everything works fine for me. However if someone else w/ different
drive mappings uses her client to look at my work, the path is invalid
on her client.
Is there a way to format the path absolutely, independent of the client
machine mappings? Mostly, i'd really appreciate a pointer to some info
that would explain this to me. I just don't know the right way to
phrase a search to find this. Thanks.
