>>- Is the machine domain-joined?
>>- What type of account is being used to run your app: local/user, local/administrator or domain? I've seen cases where tech support has forgotten to make a domain account a member of a local user or admin group, so the domain account has no privileges on a local machine and apps won't run

>>- Does the app do any drive mapping itself? Remember you can't change a mapping from \\Server1\Share1 to \\Server2\Share2 directly; you have to delete the mapping first, then re-map to the new server\share
>>- Are you running the app normally (i.e. interactively) or are you running it as a scheduled task via Task Scheduler?
>>- Is this a conventional desktop app or are you running it through Remote Desktop or RemoteApp?

>Step 1. Can you do a CD to the drive/folder? If not, then all bets are off until the permissions problem is fixed. This is where he's at - so until that is resolved then nothing else matters.

I'm not 100% convinced that's the case but even if it is, getting answers to the above questions will help pinpoint the problem, whether it's permissions/account-related or not.

I for one am not willing to look any further at this until some more background is provided.
