[ThatGuy3]

i have 2 pcs running win XP, on a wierless/5e router. i
want to run a aplaction called SafeCo, (an auto inserance
software), and shear the Client Data. The Client Data is
on pc 2. What is the best way to do this?
thanks,

1. Share the directory that has the Client Data on client 2.
Right click the folder, select sharing and security, share the folder.

2. Map a drive to that share on client 1
On client 1 open explorer, select Tools--Map Network Drive.
Pick a Drive Letter
Insert the path to the shared folder like this \\computername\sharename
Make sure the box labelled Reconnect at Logon is ticked

OK, lets assume you chose drive letter L

Now setup the program on client1, set it to look for data at L:\
Should work unless there is no way to specify the location of the data
directory in the program.
