<div>Hi List!</div> <div> </div> <div>I try to access to a folder of shp files in a LAN. I defined the directory of my SHPs - which are shared in the network- in my xml content as %MG_DATA_PATH_ALIAS[san-diego]%, in which san-diego is alias and the path is <A href="file://\\192.168.0.51\San Diego">\\192.168.0.51\San Diego</A>. (192.168.0.51 is IP address of my computer). </div> <div>When I try to access this feature source an error occures which says " <U>the feature source is invalid, an exception occured in FDO component. the directory does not exist</U>". I don't know how I should get permissions to read the remote data stores.</div> <div>Please help me to find a way to access shp files in LAN.</div> <div> </div> <div>Thanks in Advance,<BR><BR><B><I>Jackie Ng <jackie.ng@aecsystems.com.au></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"><BR>Are you using MGOS 1.2?
