= SYMPTOMS =

SOFTIMAGE Particle cannot see a networked database.

= CAUSE =

DatabaseDir.rsrc uses UNC names for the paths to the Databases. If there is a space in the Networked Share name, Particle will not see the Databases.

= RESOLUTION =

Either change the UNC name to the actual drive letter being mapped, or rename the share on the server so it does not have spaces.

For example:

\SERVERDrive is mapped to drive G:

the DatabaseDir.rsrc has the following entry:

DATABASE Database PATH //server/D Drive/Database

change the path to: PATH G:/Database

-OR-

Rename the D Drive share and remove the space.

= STATUS =

This behavior is by design.
