Re: RE: Cannot access file on Network Drive (Windows 2003)

I've been trying to run various entry level functions on the file, like file_exists(), isreadable() etcetera.... But no matter what I do, I pretty much get the "cannot open" warnings without much specification as to Why cannot open. So when I do the dbase_open() function, and I've tried all different combinations of paths, backslashes and all, I always get this: Warning: dbase_open() [function.dbase-open]: unable to open database test.dbf in ... *followed by whatever path I put in*. I'm still going to try some more testing using text files, but this is what I'm really get at.
