Did you correct that? Perhaps it would be better to put something less prone to typos in the HOSTS file instead:- 192.168.1.110 mynas then use a UNC like:- \\mynas\pbyers\atest\ReConstituted_wwwroot\Data\common\ -- Anthony Jones - MVP ASP/ASP.NET

NET USE <drive> <sharename> /PERSISTENT:YES But having said that, I'll admit that I haven't tried accessing files on a mapped drive using ASP. I'd have thought though that the ASP engine simply uses the operating system's file system, rather than handling access itself, so surely anything visible to the operating system should also be available to ASP? - Bob. |
