I have a faircom database which i query via the Faircom ODBC driver. The database is on an old NT4(SERVER) file server. I had Apache 1.3/php4.2.3 and the odbc driver on a NT workstation. Worked great! Had a drive mapped to the server for the database files so that the ODBC driver could see them.

PROBLEM
Moved the odbc driver/Apache 1.3/php to a win2K(PROF) box and it no longer works.

BUT
If I copy the faircom database files to a local drive (C) it works fine!? However if I try to use the files from the NT4(SERVER) box mapped to (F) or \\whatever\etc - NO GO!?

This is the damndest thing I have ever seen windows junk do....

Please Help!

For anyone who's interested int he answer to the above. You must run the apache server as the user, not a service to use networked drives in win2k. Don't know if this is a win2k problem or an apache problem...but at least it's working now.
