LIB files on network server

When trying to add custom libraries to projects, all is well if the libraries
are on local disk drives. If I move my custom LIB files to the network
(to share them), they can't be added to projects, because they don't
show up in the "add files to project" browse window. Can anyone shed
any light on this...?

Help,
Dave.

  • What uVision version?
    What Operating System?

    It should be a standard File Open dialogue, so you should have 'Network Neighbourhood' and all that?

    Can you manuall type the name in the dialogue, instead of browsing?
    (uVision should accept UNC)

    Sorry, I'm away from the network at the moment, so I can't verify this.

  • Thanks for the suggestion, it did work. Sure does look funny in the
    project files window though, with the entire (really long) path specified
    before the library file name. I'm assuming that the file-open dialog box
    should be working. I'm using uVision 2 V2.02 on a Win95 machine.

  • I have now checked on a networked WinNT4.0 machine with uVision v2.14 (in a C51 v6.14 installation), and the 'Add Files to Group' dialogue does include mapped network drives, Network Neighbourhood, etc.
    It is possible to browse Network Neighbourhood & select a file over the network; its full UNC path appears in the file properties.

  • Okay... how about with the C166 tools (I'm not using the C51 tools)...?
    I'm using uVision 2.02 with C166 tools V4.0x (mostly) on a Win95 box.

    Thanks.
