How do I solve that??? You can not use a network drive letter on a machine where a physical device already exists with the same drive letter. The way around it is to use network drive assignments on both machines to a common drive letter, just like I gave you in my earlier example. You then set up your software to use the network drive letter in place of the physical drive letter.
