Using LAN in Visual Foxpro 9.0

Hi....I'm new here and I only know the basics in Visual FoxPro. I just want to ask on how can the client computers access my monetary system when it is on the server or other computers. The whole folder of my monetary system is located on one computer and i want to have access using other computers. I'm currently using

SET DEFAULT TO C:\MONETARY

to set the default folder for all the tables, forms, progs and reports. What should the path in my SET DEFAULT TO <path> in order for me to run the program in other computers. Will it be something like SET DEFAULT TO \\COMPUTERNAME\\MONETARY And should this folder be shared

Hoping for your responses. Thank you.

    I'm using SET DEFAULT TO <path> should it be

    SET DEFAULT TO \\SERVER\\FOLDER

    should the folder be shared coz i tried that path and it won't work
