Re: [PHP] Cannot access file on Network Drive (Windows 2003)
At this point having gone through all sorts of permissions and running Apache as User and what not - I'm pretty close to giving up myself. Fortunately I do have other alternates to running this particular application - but it would have helped if things worked.

I even had Apache installed as a service on the windows box and had all permissions as open as possible on all directories just to test. I finally gave up and did it from a Linux server using ncpfs to mount the Novell drive.

Re: [PHP] Cannot access file on Network Drive (Windows 2003)
Ave, UNC paths didn't work, i.e., (server\\share\\Transfer\\test.dbf). I have no clue how to Run Apache as a particular User on Windows! I installed Apache using the Installer available - but I really don't know anything else 'user' related about Apache. Both SYSTEM and the Computer I'm running all this on have Full Control Permissions to the Network Share.

Well, Full Permissions (Full Control, including read write) have been given to the Machine on which the Apache Web Server is setup. Not sure if anything else needs to be done!
