Relative path when you expect other users to open your test. - vibhakhandelwal - 11-14-2011

I was reading through the QTP user Guide (page 466, QTP version 10.0) ... I came through the below point and m not able to interpret as to why relative path should be used in the below context:

If you expect other users to open your tests and all actions in your tests are
stored in the same drive, you should use relative paths for your reusable actions so that other users will be able to open your tests even if they have
mapped their network drives differently.

please explain.
