I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO IMPORT A IGES FILE FROM OUR SERVER
BUT FOR SOME REASON THE ONLY WAY I EVER GET IT TO WORK IS BY IMPORTING IT DIRECTLY FROM THE C DRIVE. IS THERE A FILE I CAN EDIT TO BE ABLE TO IMPORT IGES FROM A SERVER?

This is a shot in the dark. Earlier versions of UG were more sensitive to file name length. Multiple folder addresses become part of the file name and make the name longer.
 
While we're on the long shots....

Any spaces in that server path? UG has also been know to be sensitive to spaces in paths.
 



Right about the directory path length (256 characters max, the last time I checked). It is also sensitive to uppercase letters, spaces (as someone else has mentioned) and some special characters.

Hope this helps.
 
It also must use a mapped drive to the server disk.
