What I have now is:
\\netvista-8311\c:\ddbase\
and I get the error: given path's format is not supported.

A sharename is the name that you assign to a file server's shared folder. You will need to log onto the file system in question and create a "share". You can right click on a folder to do this. You will also need to make sure you assign permissions of the share correctly (or grant everyone read/write access).
All references to paths through the share, are reletive to that share's path on the file server. It acts kind of like a root directory.
you MAY be able to use the built in share C$, which is when the c: drive root folder is shared. (replace c: with c$ in the path you tried)

So if I make the "ddbase" folder shared (which it is), do I drop the "c:"?

Never mind... tried it and it works! Thank you so much for your help...
