UNC Path to import and export not working

[Guest]

I am using the below unc path (I think) to import tables from another access
db and export tables as excel files.

Unfortunately its not working. The network people are telling that share5vs
and share5vl are virtual or cluster servers. Does that a make difference?
Waterst1 is the server.


\\Share5vs\Share5vl\waterst1\Common\Pat_all\Pas-pat_acct\CAMER\Open Visit
Reports\

Should I start the unc path with waterst1?
Any suggestions, advice, or info will greatly be appreciated.

I cannot try it out because I am working offsite and am trying to reduce the
number of times I send the db for the user to test.

Hi Gwen,

As far as I know this UNC path
\\Share5vs\Share5vl\waterst1\
refers to the folder "waterst1" in the share "Share5s" on the server
"Share5vs".

You shouldn't have to bother with details of cluster servers: the network
operating system and sysadmins take care of that. If forced I'd guess that
you need
\\waterst1\Common\Pat_all....
but why not ask the network people?

Thank you for responding.
The network person is not that familiar with unc path.
I am going to try: \\waterst1\Common\Pat_all....
I believe it will work.
