Running From Network Drive

[Roger The Shrubber]

I'm trying to build a menu that will run from a networked drive. This menu will include tips in the form of text documents (to be run in a text box and loaded at startup) as well as some utilities and patches.

When I run this from my local drive it works fine. I even burned it to a CD-RW for testing purposes and that works fine too. But when I try to run it from a mapped drive, The menu part runs ok but it can't find the text files or the utility files.

Any ideas as to why this isn't working?

Re: Running From Network Drive

Are you copying all the referenced files? Are you receiving a message that it cannot find certain files? I run a networked help menu and it works like a charm. I also output my CD menus to the network. You may want to try to make a reference to %SrcDir% instead of %SrcDrv%. If you post some more details about the problems you are having, someone will help you out.

Yes, I am copying all the files and directories. The structure is set up on the networked drive exactly as it is on the local drive as well as the CD.

I'll give the %SrcDir% a try tomorrow and post back the results.

Whenever I use my network drive for my projects, I always use %SrcDir%. This allows me to move the final output to different areas of the network drive for evaluation without having errors.
