Networked Drive Problem

[RossTuck]

Hi,

I have a little problem that I hope you will be able to help with.

As a programmer I have been known to kill my pc, not on purpose,
but it happens. ( Only 3 times this year ).

I had the idea to get a Netgear Storage central device and setup all my work and components on that, so when the pc goes down again ( and it will ) all I have to do is format reinstall windows, borland etc and I'm up and running again in a matter of hours. All my work being safe on the networked drive.

Now this is where it all goes strange.

Having it setup locally, everything compiles perfectly, and if I open a corupt data file I get the MadExcept window I expect with all the relivent information I need.

Now if I swap the drives around and use the networked drive ( which is a copy of my Data drive ), again everything compiles perfectly and when I open that same corrupt data file, all I get is a small window that says that a C++ Exception has occured and no MadExcept window at all.

Any Ideas ?

I am useing Windows XP (1) with Borland C++Builder 5.

Thanks in advance.

Hmmmmm... Which development language are you using? Can you reproduce the problem with a little test project?

I'll give you a little clue.

Cant really give you an example, you need to setup a networked drive with you mad tools on and your compiler on your local drive.
