SYMPTOMSIf your network consists of sites that are connected only when data on the servers is replicated, then links created with the Paste Link command, common to many OLE enabled applications, may fail. CAUSE
When you create a link to an object that is saved on a server, by default,
the link to that file is made using a Universal Naming Convention (UNC)
connection. The link does not show the redirected drive letter that you
have to the server's share, it simply shows the server and share
name. For example, if you connect to a server called AppServ, the share is
called Data, and the file is called MYDOC.DOC, then the UNC link to this
file would be \\APPSERV\DATA\MYDOC.DOC.
WORKAROUNDSome applications will allow you to modify the link to refer to a redirected drive letter that points to a local server that contains the same file that is being referenced by the incorrect UNC path. STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT versions 3.1, 3.5, and 3.51. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available. Additional query words: 3.10 prodnt
