Create an AD account for the application to run under and give it full permission to that share. Then right a script for the app to run every time it needs to access that share. Seems logical and it is something we do quite often here.

However, until they logout, they will see the E: drive. But an idea anyways.

The remote server has the file shared out as well. The Application needs to have a drive letter mapped and not a UNC path. (For example E: instead of \\servername\share <file:///\\servername\share> ) Thanks in advance Mike Mike Hogenauer [EMAIL PROTECTED] <blocked::mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Rendition Networks, Inc. 10735 Willows Rd NE, Suite 150 Redmond, WA 98052 425.636.2115 | Fax: 425.497.1149 List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/
