Hi,
I am working in two locations, and in one location i have complete
acess to the whole server, and the file path starts R:Research in the
other location which i work a few day a week the path starts R:Stats I
thought the easiest way to solve this was to specify the server name
instead and this would solve all my problems. So i was going to change
the R: to the name of the server. This would solve all my problems.
Thanks
Adrian
