What's the reason of this 'feature' besides cheating and confusing? This "feature" is a support nightmare and is worth itself killing regardless of whether WNet itself should be kept or not. People connect to T:\share\path.gdb and have an illusion of locally using shared database file, as Access can do. Regards, Aleksey Karyakin |
