Arden, This is a permissions issue (almost guarantee it). Change the coldfusion service to run as a user in the domain with access to the shares you need to save/read from, and you will be all set. Personally, I create a 'cfUser' or 'coldfusion' user on the domain and give it very specific permissions to anything it needs to access.

Have you tried that instead? Eg. \\[ipaddress or computer name]\sharename I will try cfdirectory and cfcontent specifically when I get into the office today and let you know the results -----Original Message----- From: Arden Weiss [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 10, 2008 2:46 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Is it possible to access network drives with CFDIRECTORY and CFCONTENT I seem to not be able to access a mapped network drive with CFDIRECTORY and CFCONTENT. The CF7 app needs to be able to access/manage a store of PDF files and display them in the user's browser. Everything works great as long as the PDF files are located in a folder on a drive directly attached to the box on which CF7 is installed, but fails when I try to access the same files located on a mapped network drive. The simple solution would be to put the files on one of the drives on the CF box, but the network guys are fussy about doing that. So any insight on how to access and display the PDF files located on a networked drive would be most helpful. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:308846 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
