Thank you guys. I was finally able to create the tablespace on the mapped
drive.

I do realize that placing datafiles on network devices is not the right
thing and is not supported by oracle.

Thanks again for the help. You are the best!

Murali.

I firmly believe that placing database files across the network is
one very bad idea indeed, however your problem most likely comes
from the fact that Oracle service runs as local (Windows) system
account and as such across the network it has exactly the level
of rights it deserves - none whatsoever. If you set the Oracle
service to run as recognized network user that have read/right
permissions on mapped drive - it might work, but it would still
be a bad-bad idea to go ahead and actually do so (teeny tiny
network 'hick up', and find yourself practicing recovery scenarios).
