François,
Paths in LabVIEW have always considered \\server\share to be an atomic unit. I rewrote several low-level path functions in LabVIEW and found that strange. Windows is the only platform in LabVIEW that supports this concept (called UNC paths, at least in LabVIEW code).
Asbo, you're right. I missed that when I rewrote those functions. I'll look into that.
I'll look into that. I think if I fix the behavior that Asbo is talking about, the crashes should go away.
Thank you so much for bringing this up.
