Thanks on advance for any help and apologies if this is not the correct forum - it seemed the right place to start.

I have a client with a mixed Windows ( 95, 98,Me ) environment running my furniture application peer-to-peer over TCP/IP on a 10/100 wired network. The application and configuration files are local on each machine with the data and report formats on a Win98 PC acting as a server. Everything has been fine.

We are trying to add a WindowsXP laptop with a wireless card. We added a router with access point to the network. We have the laptop able to share files, browse the (wired) server's files. I can even open a table in the development environment (FOXPROX) and browse the remote server data files through a mapped drive... however....

When I fire up the furniture application locally, with the server data mapped to a virtual drive on the laptop, I get "not a database file" errors. The files are fine and all the other (wired) workstations are functioning properly.

Any ideas????

Thanks in advance - Steve
