Setup: Editing the Filepath for a Networked Database (Network Edition only)

It should look like this:

serverName:drive:\localPath\BT30600NAME.gdb

• Note that the text in green italics will be replaced with your own particulars.
   
• Note that the localPath portion will be the true filepath on the networked server, from the server's own perspective, and not a shared folder name as it would be seen by other machines on the network. 

If you are setting the database filepath to access a database that resides on a networked machine (not on the local machine), you will need to manually modify the filepath that Bundle-Track Links proposes.

After you have used the browse button in Bundle-Track Links to locate and select the database file on a networked server, the filepath that Bundle-Track Links proposes has the following format:
 
    \\serverName\localPath\BT30600NAME.gdb

You must manually edit that path as follows:

1. Delete the "\\" preceding the server name.
2. Insert "::" (two colons) after the server name.
3. Between the two colons you just inserted, insert the letter of the physical drive on the server on which the database file resides.
4. Confirm that the path now conforms to this format:
   serverName:drive:\localPath\BT30600NAME.gdb
   
5. Click OK to store the new filepath. 
6. Close Bundle-Track Links.
