Certain software do not work well with UNC's (Universal Naming Convention). For example you can do a DIR \\MYSERVER\SHARE\SUBDIR\* at the DOS command line and the UNC is valid as a file/dir name. However, some software seem to be using older(?) file open methods and handling and have a problem dealing with UNC's. In this case simply map the share as a local drive and access the data from the mapped drive instead.
