"......The template is able to find the correct symbol path because the

mapped S: drive (D:\DataCAD\Sym on the file server) for a symbol.

The advantage here is in the transportability of symbol and template files
between home and work and all of the other positive aspects of the
"relative" path name strategy.

The disadvantage is in having to rewrite template files as symbols when new
symbols are created.  But I would argue that you have to do this anyway
(and check with Explorer or whatever to make sure that a new symbol has
been saved to the correct location) because of DataCAD's "anamolous"
template/symbol behavior...."

I think this "anomolous behavior" is a BUG that MUST be fixed in the next
version! Are you listening LLC??
