Network drive not accessible

Hi

I have to open files on a network location and I am unable to do so. The files are Foxpro dbfs. To simulate the error, I had the files copied to my hard drive and I can open the files without any problem if I specify the path.

Ex.
HDBOpen(BILL,"B","C:\RENTAL\BILLDATA\BILL.DBF")

The table is opened without any problem. But if the "C:\RENTAL\" is mapped as h:, then it does not work.

HDBOpen(BILL,"B","H:\BILLDATA\BILL.DBF")

Similarly, I can open the actual network tables on G:\billdata\ and I can read and write to the folder, yet I cannot open the table from Windev 23.

I have imported the tables in the analysis.

Any help please?

Hi,

are you using Windows 10 ? Maybe you need to do a small change in the windows-registry.
I had a similar problem and this was the solution :

Open regedit on the computer, and go to the following location :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

Under that key create a DWORD value named:
EnableLinkedConnections
And set it to 1, then reboot your computer

best regards,

Patrick

Hi Patrick

Thank you for taking time to answer my query. You are right, I am using Windows 10, but in this case, the problem was something else. I recreated the project under another name and it stopped working after I copied all files from the previous. Ultimately I realised I was using a 64 bit program and the Foxpro server being on 32 bit was not responding. I finally changed my exe to 32 bit and it is working now. Thank you again.
