Re: Help. Problem executing files on \\Network-server\DBfolder

Strange.

My clients (from their desktops) can execute programs that are linked to
\\Network-server\DBfolder. But me (remotely accessed to the server) cannot.
So, looks like I have put more restrictions on the Administrator, than I have
on my clients/users. (Never thought that this was possible)

Since, my clients are in production, I will wait until after-hours to play
with the permissions.
