Re: mapped drive problem Help!!

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Let me get this straight. You say in order for the application to work it
uses a mapped drive as opposed to a UNC? So somewhere there is a cfg file
that goes out to the mapped network drive specified. Correct? Have you
chacked this file? What is the command line for the mapped network drive?
And you are sure the workstations are mapped correctly to the specified
drive letter?
