SYMPTOMS
When multiple drives are mapped to the same NetWare server, Word may not resolve the path correctly when you use the FILENAME /p field. Instead of the correct drive, Word may display the path relative to another mapped drive to the NetWare server.

Example:

Result: The field resolves to "f:\user\'docname'"

Expect: The field should resolve to "g:\'docname'"

This occurs when the following conditions are both true:
 * There are multiple mapped connections to the same NetWare server but at different levels.

Example:

f: is mapped to \\"netware server"\public

g: is mapped to \\"netware server"\public\user


 * DONTUSEUNC has been set in the registry.
