Windows NT supports the use of the uniform naming convention (UNC) inside packaged objects. This means that you can create an object with the Object Packager utility that includes a pointer to a file located on a network file share.
For example, instead of embedding a 1 MB Word for Windows document into a mail message, you can insert a packaged object that contains a UNC pointer to the document on the network share. When the message is received, the recipient can double-click on the icon created by Object Packager to connect to the share and load the Word for Windows document.
To create a packaged object containing a UNC pointer to a Word for Windows document on a network share, following these steps:
\\COMPUTER2\WORDDOCS\BUDGET.DOC
Note If the network share requires a password, the recipient will have to know the password to retrieve the package.
