>>Hi Jerry,
>>
>>You need to use a UNC path instead of a mapped path to the data. Also, if you are still having troubles after you make that change then it could be a rights issue since you are ruhning under the ASPNET account. See thread #742132 for a situation similar to yours about how to change the rights if needed.
