Hello, Group:

I'm trying to move an old DOS application (Accpac) from a Netware 4.11
server. I've made the move of the files and created the drive mapping
to the Windows Server, but when I open the application and try to
enter a module, e.g., Order Entry, the password is rejected.

Now, on the Netware 4.11 server this works fine, but running the
application from a Windows share fails by rejecting the password (to
enter the module).

Security is lax, the share is open to Full-Access.

Basically, the user logs into his/her Windows XP session and the
following drive mappings are created:

f: \server\sys
h: \server\sys\accpac
j: \server\sys\accpac\userop\username

Then the user runs a bat file that starts the program, i.e., plus1.
The program starts, but when the user tries to entry a module, e.g.,
Order Entry, the password is denied.

Please help.

Much regards,

--tj

A possible issue here is that while windows drive mappings are always root
mappings, those on netware may be root mappings, or it may be possible to
navigate upwards in the folder-tree.

For instance, it may be that \server\sys\accpac\userop is being accessed
via J: if this is a nonroot mapping. - this would not be possible on a
windows server.

That is the most obvious difference I can think of. There are bound to be
others.

Turns out that this program (DOS based application) was missing some
critical files.
