That's it. I'm not working Saturdays any more. Here's what happened:
1 I shared the drive.
2 I mapped the share to a drive letter.
3 I tied to open a table - no luck.
4 I shut *my* machine off and rebooted.
5 I tried to open a table - no luck.
6 I figured 'screw it', shut everything down and went to lunch.
7 I came back and started everything up, tried to open my test table
(hoping Fred was right) and it worked!
I never thought to shut down the other machine. What an absolute numpty.
I hate when that happens.
It's so great to know there's always someone like Fred who can see the
forest even when amid the trees.
Thank you sir!

If you mapped the drive after VFP was started, VFP may not see it. Map the
drive, then start VFP.

Hi all!
I'm trying to run a VFP9 app on a small peer network of Win7 (64bit)
machines. As a test I installed VFP on one of the machines and some tables
on another. I shared the drive with the tables and mapped it to the letter
T: on the VFP machine. I can see the drive (T:) and its contents from
Windows explorer but when I issue "Use t:\tst.dbf" in the command window I
get "File 'T:\tst.dbf does not exist'". If I issue 'SET DEFAULT TO T:\" I
get "Invalid path or file name".
Has anyone got any idea why this is happening and what I need to do to fix
it?
TIA,
Bill
