Thanks Derek I can to that conclusion when I tried drivetype() on all drive letters to see what was there. I also tried the pathing. In fact I tried just the server and it says it cant see that. I have some code to get a directory and look to see if it exists. the code says if !directory(datadir) then return "Cant find directory" I made the directory \\gslserver\ which does exist but can not be found.

-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Derek Kalweit No, you can't access network resources from inside a service, unless the service is running as a network/domain user. This is a security measure. Also, network 'drives' are only mappings in your current user session, and services(IIS) run in their own session, so your "drives" simply don't exist... You'll need to use UNC pathing... No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
