I'm thinking that perhaps you can use the computer ID on the network and set up the CD drive as SHARING with a SHARING name.

I've not tried this myself, but theoretically, it should work.

\\computerID\CDSharedName\rest\of\path\and\file\name

Let me know if this works - yes, you'll have to set it up without a DRIVE letter and with the computerID. Unless of course, you have all your users mapping drive letters (the same letter!) to your CDRom.

Hope this helps!

     Thanks, but I've done that already.
     The problem is that each machine has a different path to
