I put data files 2-3 subfolders nested within My Dox, different folders
for
different projects. On XP with NTFS, I've never had a problem that I
suspected that the file system or file structure was responsible for. The
concerns you're expressing sound like carryovers from Win 3.1 and older
versions of Pro/e when it couldn't handle spaces in folder names and it
was
even very seriously limited on the length of file names (BTW, it still
doen't let you create part names with spaces in them). I think most of
those
problems have been solved even before Wildfire. But definitely with
Wildfire's file browser, if you can get to it, you can read and write to
it.
Are you having some kind of issues we should be aware of?
