PROBLEM
The MapObjects Table object fails to return a Recordset object when the path for the database property has been assigned using Universal Naming Convention (UNC).UNC allows you to identify a path without specifying a drive letter, for example, \\Computer\Files\Paths\file.doc.
This problem occurs when the name of the computer or folders is greater than eight characters. This has been observed on Novell networks.
