I have an application with a backend database connected to front end via mapped drive. It is installed at my client's office. Occasionally they report a problem while opening an application first time, after turning computer on. An application cannot access linked table. But, after entering the build-in browser and relinking the tables, the problem disapears. This problem is not persistant, so I couldn't reproduce it. Also, drive mapping has not changed !!!
So my question is: Have anybody seen that kind of problem ?
Is there any REAL disadvantage of having tables linked by mapped drives instead of UNC ?
