I might be wrong, but I do not believe you can access files using the this windows syntax. You have to use a mapped drive. Also you should flip all you path separator characters from \ to / as \ is an escape character in a lot of contexts.

So try something like:

d:/data/SheridanData/Keeneland/Vector Data/Geographic
 Control Points/Geographic Control Points.shp

Hi,

   I am trying to access data directly from a network share folder in my
mapfile. But it is not working . It is throwing the following error.

I tried to search in the old email archives. In one of the email chains
they suggested me to check if gdal/ogr can actually open the files. I
did gdal info for tiff files and they are giving the right information.
Similarly ogrinfo for shp files and they too are fine.

Can anyone please suggest what is the problem and give me solution to
fix this. Find below snapshot of my mapfile for your reference.
