I'm having a similar problem, although in a completely different context, since
I migrate my development server from XP to Windows 7.
I'm still using ColdFusion Studio, and starting with W7, when I search for some
string in files and it finds one say in C:\inetsrv\wwwroot\myProjet\myFile.cfm,

A path that starts with \\ is a UNC path. UNC paths can be funky as
they are not necessarily real physical paths on your server but rather
logical paths on a mapped device, like SAN.
UNC paths should work, in general. Sometimes permissions will be
problematic with UNC paths but that shouldn't cau
Only other thing that immediately comes to mind is that it looks like that
may be a network drive so perhaps something's going on on that network
device or the network itself.
If the directory should pretty much always exist, I'd run that code in your
onApplicationStart() or find another way to o
It may be more than a style preference. I'm not sure that "No" as a
string value is always equivalent to a true/false boolean value. My
suggestion was intended to help identify if that might actually be your
issue.
I've experienced intermittent issues with FileExists and trying to

I honestly don't know; it's coming from the global variable for all of our
applications. I guess I always assumed it had to do with mappings or something,
since we can't have a relative path here. I can definitely strip it out and
see if that solves the problem.

I understand and agree with your style preferences, but neither complaint with
legacy code would cause issues.

Very unlikely, the directory definitely exists, since it's our main repository
for documents...we aren't creating it all the time, it's just a best practice
that we're checking for existence.

Could this same code be run concurrently by two threads/users? One thread

dirExists() check. You may want to toss a named lock around it to make
sure only one process is messing with the directory at once. I'd use

What is the double \\ for?
Sometimes it is taken as equivalent as one single \, but some other time it may
not.
This could explain why DirectoryExists says it doesn't but it is found when
being created.

Since DirectoryExists returns a true/false, you don't need the IS "No"
part of the statement. Also, DirectoryExists expects you to pass it a
variable, so you don't need the quotes and pound signs around
