Installing New DB onto to a Mapped Network Drive?

Hey,<br /><br />I need to combine a group of large tables together for a report. Only drive i have left big enought to hold the combined total size is a on our network… But when i tried and change the default location (c:\programs..blah blah) to a mapped network drive, it will not let me? Can you do this? Can i do this? <img src=’/community/emoticons/emotion-1.gif’ alt=’:)‘ />
No, as far I know, you can’t do that.

You may want to look at this: http://www.sql-server-performance.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=8123 But I really don’t recommend doing this. If you network goes down chance are you’ll get a torn page.
