Unable to access file names from shared network path in “Directory” Data Source

Hi dougan76 

Sorry - I just want to clarify - you say that if you use the UNC network drive mapping style it doesnt work - but then you say if you use the absolute C:\SLP it does work - but C:\SLP is relative not absolute.  Sorry - I'm not picking holes here - I just want to be clear.

The Universal Naming convention (which is absolute) of a network drive = \\servername\sharename\foldername

Have you specified the sharename in the path when trying to map to the correct folder?

If this doesn't work - you could try the relative drive mappings R:\foldername - and strictly speaking unless you are using floating licenses - you won't be running the ReadyAPI! project on multiple machines so you don't need to worry about different  people's machines having different network drive mappings.  I suppose you could ensure that EVERYONE who is executing the project have the same network drive mappings so there's no problem - but I appreciate you don't want to use relative drive mappings in this case

Obviously using the relative drive mappings wont work on any machine that doesn't actually have the drive mapped!

Cheers
