I have a database that requires that uses have full rights. There is no way
around this need according the provider. I want to map a drive to it but
hide the mapping and the drive. I have tried using the hide feature but
mapped users can still see the drive and the files. I am looking at the
system.adm file which lists the harddrives.

If you have ideas please let me know. Thanks

Why can't the database app use a UNC to access the data, instead of a mapped
drive?
 
That is a good idea. However, when setting the client up the configuration
screen asks for a drive letter for data. It will not take a unc.
