Sorry Bill, neither UCAC nor A2 work on the mapped drive, only from c...



Bill,

I have it set up as you spelled it out below. Presently I have A2 and
UCAC4 in both the server (Z drive) and in c:\. UCAC4 works fine from
either place but USNO A2 only works from c:\. UCAC4 is 8.4 GB and A2 is
5.9 GB.
