Hi Matt, and thanks for the response. I tried the 3 slashes, but that still didn’t do the trick. I ended up copying the imagery to the local server. Would have rather left it in the original location, but at least I got the service to work.

The images are on a shared, mapped drive. I know that using Windows mapped drive letters will not work (it’s a Windows server with Apache, MS4W 3.0.6). I can’t get the service to recognize the location. I get error messages for “Corrupt, empty or missing file…” I’ve tried several formats: \\machine_unc_name\share\path\data<file:///\\machine_unc_name\share\path\data> \machine_unc_name\share\path\data \share\path\data -several variations but none worked. Any suggestions?
