Platform: VC 7.0, Windows 2000



Hi

I have developed a service application and facing problem as given below:



1. Service Application is able read a file present in the mapped drive
folder when user logged on.

2. But Service Application is not able to read file from the mapped drive
folder when user logged off from the system.



I want to know, how can I read file from mapped drive folder when user

Mapped drives won't exist when no one is logged on. Use UNC paths instead.

Vijay,

I am also trying the same thing. But the service is unable to read th
file present in a mapped drive. It is throwing an exception saying tha
the path not found. But the same code works in a Windows application.

Can you please share the code snippet which you are using to acces
files over mapped drive?

Please forward any reply to (e-mail address removed)

Thanks in advance....

Joydeep
