Answer 1

The first thing I'm going to say is that it's pretty unusual for Notes code to refer to a network drive path. Modern operating systems tend to be locked down pretty tightly, and a Domino server should probably not be running with permissions to reach out across network drives.

That said, you should probably use the Database Synopsis feature, and select Forms, subforms, and Script Libraries. Then search the generated synopsis (I usually copy from the output window and paste it into a text editor). The first thing I'd do is search for the word "path", because programmers are usually not very creative with their names for variables. If that fails, I would search for "file", and "open", or things like "C:", "D:", etc. IIRC, UNC paths (e.g., "\sharename\folder\file") do not work in Notes/Domino.If all that searching fails to turn up what you want, I would read through all the code.
