[AccessD] OT: Cant open file Error WIN XP

Hi Darren:

Rather than use drive letters why not try net addresses: i.e.
\\MyserverLocation\MyFolder... Of course, you have to have read and write
rights to the remote site or no go but that is the same for any connections.
On the remote server or station, permissions have to set to allow you have
access.
