Then you need to type it in the style of: \\WORKGROUP\james2\documents\pos

Try that.

The problem is you need to be on the same Windows workground space in the network. Have you made a workgroup for it? Are you on the same one? Info.

Then you need to type it in the style of: \\WORKGROUP\james2\documents\pos

Try that.

yea i have the same workgroup
but usally the workgroup would not let you access the files at all, but im able to see them in explorer but somehow the program cant, but i know the program works cause im currently have the folder on the computer and so somehow its being blocked going over the network, ive tried adding it to/turing off the firewall. not sure
