[Qgis-user] Windows UNC paths with QGIS

[Patrick Dunford]

If you are typing the entire path manually you must change all the 
slashes into forward slashes.

Make it easy for yourself and cllick the Browse button then type into 
the filename box at the bottom of the open file dialog:

\\servername\share

then browse to the file to be opened.
