How to Use Netware Remote Drives as Local Project Directories

ID: Q130885

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Delta for Windows, version 1.0

SUMMARY

Workstations that use Netware remote drives as local project directories are required to implement the LOCALDRIVES variable. Delta writes the complete network path to the "location" and "user_root" variables in the DELTA.MVM file. If M:\ADMIN represents the local project directory and \\SERVER\SYS\PROJ\GUI is mapped to the M: drive, Delta would include the true path to the local project directory in the DELTA.MVM file and in the DELTA.INI file.

MORE INFORMATION

When Delta attempts to access the project, it will perceive the \PROJ\GUI\ as directories instead of recognizing them as part of the mapping. Delta will then complain that the project is corrupt and needs to be recreated. Adding the LOCALDRIVES variable to the user's system will resolve the problem.

The entries in DELTA.MVM should look like these:

   user root = \\SERVER\SYS\PROJ\GUI\ADMIN
   location = \\SERVER\SYS\PROJECTS

The entries in DELTA.INI should look like these:

   [Projects]
   newprj=\\server\sys\proj\gui\admin
