I cannot use UNC paths in xy. If I paste the path '\\rc\sc\development' into windows explorer, it comes right up. If it paste it into xy, I get a little dialog that says
Couldn't find location:
\\rc\sc\development
Probably the server is currently not available.
If I try to go directly to the aliased machine (\\can-rc-dc-02\development), xy becomes nonresponsive and has to be killed using task manager.
We do use active directory to alias machine names. Drives mapped to such locations work fine (eg net use L: \\rc\sc\development).

Not sure if there is anything in these two prior threads that may relate, (as I'm not an UNC path user), but just wanted to point these out:

Are these passworded?
You may download the little test app
"ExistUNC" and check which of various methods does see your UNC path.

Path: \\rc\sc\development
- Check 1: True. Time needed: 116.472 msec = 0.12 seconds
- Check 2: True. Time needed: 1.368 msec = 0.00 seconds
- Check 3: False. Time needed: 2,260.842 msec = 2.26 seconds
- Check 4: False. Time needed: 2.922 msec = 0.00 seconds
- Check 5: False. Time needed: 1.178 msec = 0.00 seconds
- Check 6: False. Time needed: 13.858 msec = 0.01 seconds
It does not have a password per se, but it is on a server and access to it is controlled via file/dir permissions using active directory.

Thanks. Active Directory is certainly the factor here...
Please download an updated version of the little test app and try again:
"ExistUNC"

Did you try the new tweak?
In the INI you'll find a new key:
Set it to
1 to skip the checking.

Hmmmmmmmm... I'm still waiting for any feedback here. What does the silence mean, jkh?
