Yes, the URI format can be a little challenging. Glad it worked for you!!!

Earnie,
Thank you!! You were correct. If I reference the drive using UNC format
then windows seems to locate the drive correctly. I'll put that one into the
FAQ as well.

On thing that took me a little while however was figuring out the URI
syntax.

A local or mapped network drive looks like this:
new URI("file://H/DATA");

The correct UNC format turned out to look like this:
new URI("file:////123.123.123.123/Drive/DATA");

Thanks for you help on this.

Cheers,
Leif
