This morning it opened the right file -- three times. I have no idea and I
don't even want to know how that happened. AT LEAST I had the file I
wanted....

I do understand what you are saying about the network drives and I will keep
that in mind. That part hasn't come up before but I can see the problem and
I wouldn't have thought of it.

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).
