Hi Roland,
Here is our evaluation of the problems you had with information on our plan.
cdbDB::Open fails if the supplied path ends with / or \.
cdbDB::Open(ââ¬Åc:\cdbââ¬Â) :: success
cdbDB::Open(ââ¬Åc:\cdb\ââ¬Â) :: failure
The problem is confirmed and will be corrected.
cdbDB::Open fails if supplied a network path with a single directory level.
cdbDB::Open(ââ¬Å\\server\cdbââ¬Â) :: failure
The problem is confirmed. No correction is planned at this time. To avoid the problem, introduce another directory level for network paths.
cdbDB::Open(ââ¬Å\\server\cdb\dbââ¬Â) :: success
This applies to mapped drives also.
S: \\server\cdb
cdbDB::Open(ââ¬Ås:ââ¬Â) :: failure
cdbDB::Open(ââ¬Ås:\dbââ¬Â) :: success

I have experienced some problems when trying to open CDB db's in different places. So far I have only managed to get the API to open a CDB if it is on my local system and does not end with \\'s, e.g.
c:\\myCDB works
c:\\myCDB\\ does not work
Also I cannot get network CDB db's to work, e.g.
\\server\\myCDB does not work
\\server\\myCDB\\ does not work
mapped to T:
T: does not work
T:\\ does not work
The only network case I have managed to get to work is if I map a network drive to the directory below the network CDB dataset, e.g.
\\server\\dbs\myCDB
T: -> \\server\\dbs
and then try to connect to
T:\\myCDB
the API then succeeds (although I have only tested this by mapping a drive to a locally created share).
