This will happen with any software that stores filepaths including paths to shares if the share is not available. Unfortunately, this message cannot be trapped by using eg the utility X, etc. I think it dates back to the days of floppy drives, when the OS would prompt for the disc if it couldn't be found. With my own version of SyncDiscs, to allow automated jobs to be run unattended, if one of the paths include 'Share', then it enumerates all the shares currently on the network, and skips the job if the share is not found at that time. -- Chris Johnson
