On or about 6/2/2005 01:18 PM a carrier pigeon from Cheryl Rothwell delivered:

As I understood the other comments, what would happen is: the
remote computer would access the project by one path name -- either a
\\computer\share\directory... or as a "mount point" z:\directory...

That is what would then be saved in the INI file for last project.

If you now run TMG from the host computer, it won't see that share
or mount point... You have to select the project using the local drive
label... E:\directory\... And THAT now gets stored into the INI file... The
next time you connect using the remote computer, E:\directory doesn't
exist, so AGAIN you have to select the project manually.

If you have a server, and ALL remotes access the server using the
same "share" and/or mount point (don't use Z:\ on one computer and, say,
M:\ on another).
