NYC lets you browse for cookbooks across all network drives. See File… Open Cookbook… and use the drive list selection to find cookbooks on other drives on the network. You can access any cookbook on any mapped drive. So just keep your cookbooks on one computer’s hard drive, share that drive to the network, then use NYC on any networked computer to open the cookbook on the shared drive. A few things to keep in mind here: 1. NYC is not a true network app, so you cannot simultaneously access a cookbook from two different computers. 2. Any computer using NYC to access a cookbook on a network drive must have read and write access to the network drive, or NYC will fail with an Error 75 (read only file) message.
