Off the top of my head, there are only two things I can remember having
problems with on a mapped drive:
1) The DirectoryExists() function doesn't work on it (it finds
subdirectories, but doesn't treat the root level of the mapped drive as a
directory). So we had code along the lines of if the directory X:\ exists,
do a CFDIRECTORY, and the code never executed. We fixed that by dropping a
dummy file in there and checking for the existence of the dummy file.
2) If you are using mapped drives on WINx, the computer with the mappings
*has* to be logged in (you can't reboot into that press cntrl-alt-delete to
log in state we know and love). The mappings are a function of the
individual login -- if the computer is not logged into to the account you
created the mappings in, ColdFusion can't see them.
Those are the two problems we've hit (especially #2 -- the machine will
reach a critical mass of errors, reboot itself, but not log in, which gets
messy). If I can think of any other issues we've had, I'll let you know.
Can you send the code?
