Here is the problem as I see it. Brian -- correct me if I am wrong.
If you tell CFAM to access a directory on a mapped drive, there is no way for CFAM to know that the resulting folder is on a server somewhere. CFAM opens the folder as if it were a local folder on your machine. THIS PROVIDES FOR NO FILE SHARING.
If multiple users have similar folder mappings to the same folder it is as if multiple users were accessing the files as local files using multiple file servers (one file server on each of the users' machines).
This situation potentially causes file corruption.
The moral is:
Use UNC names, not mapped drive designations in the INI file.
