Oh yeah, and tijnema has a good point:

\\compname-x\\offsite\\db\\test.dbf

Btw, what does top post mean?

Other than permissions, you might be referencing the folder by the local
network mapping drive initial, instead of the actual path:

X:\\offsite\db\test.dbf == \\compname-x\offsite\db\test.dbf

Generally, I like using the computer name and not a mapping. I find this
name-based address through the 'My Network Places' folder.

I'm not much of a windows networking person, but this might be the
problem. Results may vary, but in windows, I think the mappings are by
machine only, as mappings (I assume) are local aliases, and must be set or
"shared" among groups of machines to be known.

It's probably a permissions thing, though.

FWIW
