Emulating a Network Drive on a PC
I have an Access database at work that has a lot of VBA code, which frequently accesses data on my server at work. It uses the full path to access network drives eg DataFolder = "\\MainServer\WorkData\". I want to do some development on my home PC, but obviously I don't have the work network available at home, so none of the code that accesses network drives will work. Is there a way I can setup a folder such that it looks like a network drive? Eg when the code looks for \\MainServer\WorkData\, it finds the local folder. I've seen lots of stuff on the Web about doing it the other way round ie make a network drive look like a local drive, but nothing about making a local drive (or folder) look like a network drive.
