Can I use the network path directly instead of the mapped path on

[Guest]

Hi,
Can I use the network path directly instead of the mapped path on the local
computer. For example, some file is mapped from a computer named as
ComputerName under directory subdir in the network to local drive O. Can I
use the path name such as "ComputerName\subdir" instead of "O:\" in my
program to access those files. If I can, how? if not, why?

Thanks a lot and best regards
Shu

Yes, you can use a UNC rather than mapped drive. You'd use
\\ComputerName\share\ instead of O:
