I use unc connections myself and have the same problem where MP auto starts but will not read the network drives until I shut it down and restart it.

I have all my databases in a central server location on the network as well and these can't be read the first time MP starts up and defaults to the local c drive. NOTE:- I don't have to access the drive before restarting MP though.
Another thing I found was if I turned off auto start in MP and then added the icon to the startup folder within XP, if a rebooted the whole machine, it would see the drives no problems but when I turn the machine off overnight, in the morning, it will not see the drives again until I restart MP.. strange

[QUOTE="charli181, post: 300937, member: 54408"] I use unc connections myself and have the same problem where MP auto starts but will not read the network drives until I shut it down and restart it. I have all my databases in a central server location on the network as well and these can't be read the first time MP starts up and defaults to the local c drive.
