Roy,

Good to hear the restore fixed it.

Couple of ideas just in case :

Where you able to get to folder itself (from windows explorer) ? Sorry - it was not clear if only EDBManager had issue or if you could not get to local folder using unc path at all.

It sounds like a name resolution issue :
- did you ever try accessing data using IP locally (e.g. \\<medion ip>\Business\Data) ?  
- how about using a proper DSN name (e.g.  \\<medion.you.domain>\Business\Data) ?
- does this machine have more than 1 NIC (or more than interface )

Yes but when I typed in the UNC dear old Windows when it presented the directory displayed the local path

>It sounds like a name resolution issue :

Very probably, the weird (to me) part is if I altered the session in EDBManager to use a local path for the config the database would open happily even though it was on a unc path, part of which was the config path

>- did you ever try accessing data using IP locally (e.g. \\<medion ip>\Business\Data) ?

That's the whole problem - I couldn't

>- how about using a proper DSN name (e.g. \\<medion.you.domain>\Business\Data) ?

I'm using a workgroup rather than a domain

>- does this machine have more than 1 NIC (or more than interface )

Nope
