IIS not seeing mapped drives
Hi All,

I am developing/running and intranet based web app. Runs fine on IIS 5.0/ 2k server with all clients not a problem.
The app generates word mail merges (server side) then tells the client to open the file in Word via a mapped drive. To ensure consistancy all clients and the server have the same mapped drive ie the server has a mapped drive to itself. Works fine.
Problem...When the app is taken off site via a laptop and run locally on it (XP Pro) it cant see any files via the mapped drive Q:. If I use the local path ie c:\inetpub\webapp\createdfiles it works fine but if I use Q:\createdfiles finds nothing. All folder/NTFS permissions are set to full control etc.

If I have chosen the wrong forum, sorry, it just seems that its a problem with IIS (XP Pro).

Any ideas? All help/thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Craig

Hmm, I have no experience with mapping a drive to a folder on the same machine, but as long as the IIS user account has permissions I don't see why there would be a problem.

Details needed: what is shared? I.e. what are you mapping Q: to?

I can assume a lot of things from your question but I don't know if my assumptions are totally accurate ...
