Thanks will have a look at DFS. Would this work to have a mapping of
say \\domain\dfs\company <file:///\\domain\dfs\company> to F: and the
contents of this share to come from various places.
e.g.
F:\Folder1 would actually link to a share on Server1. and
F:\Folder2 would actually link to a share on Server2.
Thanks.
Steve

I'd use dfs instead.
Then Company1 would always be referred to as
<\\yourdomain.local.or.what.ever\dfs\company1
<file:///\\yourdomain.local.or.what.ever\dfs\company1> > and it could
point to <\\filesvr1\companythis <file:///\\filesvr1\companythis> or
that> or wherever you choose to keep it. In any case, you'd still be
using <\\yourdomain.local.or.what.ever\dfs\company1
<file:///\\yourdomain.local.or.what.ever\dfs\company1> > and the actual
share could be anywahere. The pointer ref's would be taken care of
automatically. You'll never have to remember where that particaulr file
is physically located, just the dfs-pointer.
HTH.

Any ideas on this one;
I have two file servers, and have moved a number of the data folders
from one to the other (running out of space on FILESVR1). My question-
is it possible to make it look and act like the moved folders are still
where are were.
To explain fuller;
F: is mapped as \\FILESVR1\Company <file:///\\FILESVR1\Company>
G: is mapped as \\FILESVR2\Company <file:///\\FILESVR2\Company>
If I had F:\AFolder which was moved to G:\AFolder can I make it look and
act like "AFolder" is still on the F: drive. I know that I can make a
shortcut to it but the two problems with that is (1) It is treated as a
file in the listing - ie in with the files and not folders), and (2) if
you use UP to go back you go up to G:\ and not F:\.
FILESVR1 is a Windows 2000 Server, and FILESVR2 is Windows Server 2003.
Thanks,
Steve
