Yes, as far as I know.

She is able to access some of the files but not others under
f:\testing\filepro

She can access the marketing  file and create a sales.  This in turn creates
a sales journal record.

She cannot however access the sales_journal file from the accounting menu or
developers menu.  In both cases she is dropped back to the calling menu.

I can access everything without a problem.

Database server ccpdbsrv

Terminal Server - ccpiissvr

Drive f is mapped to \\ccpdbsvr\filepro

I created the following using UNC path name

@echo off
rem This File created by install shield on 9-22-2006

set fplmhost=192.168.100.42:6556

set pfcmark=20
set PFDSK=\\ccpdbsvr\filepro

set PFDIR=\testing
set pfmenu=\\ccpdbsvr\filepro\testing\fp\menus
set PFGLOB=
set PFCONFIG=
set PFTMP=c:\FPTEMP
set PATH=%pfprog%;%PFPROG%\fp;%path%
echo stuff > fp$$$$$$.bat
del fp$$*.bat>NUL
%pfprog%\fp\p.exe l_menu

As my client is away from her desk, I don't know if this will help.
However, again I can access everything from this menu.
