Does anyone know of a Best practice in relation to File References as far as using 'file:' vs 'fmnet:' and the practice of having multiple file references, and the order that they should be added

Any info would be appreciated

Thanks

"file:" is used for local references (on the same host,) and "fmnet:" is used for referencing a file on another host. It's best to only have the one correct reference listed. But if you develop a solution that will be split to multiple machines later, then list the local reference first, then the network reference.
