Although there are lot of related topic in this forum, I still can’t find any solution of my problem. Pls help.
If I create a .dir and pointed to domino server’s local drive, it works perfectly.
But when I mapped a network drive in domino server and use it in the .dir file, two problems occur when I double the .dir folder in Open Database box.
If the link is mapped to my own PC (Win XP), an error message “Server error: File does not exist” prompted out.
If the link is mapped to server, I can double click the folder but shown me a “blank” page.
Anyone have idea? Thx a lot.

Are you mapping the server’s drive to a drive letter, or just using a “\” style network path? If I recall correctly, the latter is not supported.

The UNC mapping works, but only if you aren’t running Domino as the “LocalSystem” account. I actually create an Active Directory user for my systems these days, and log the service in as that user. Unfortunately, this prevents the console from interacting with the desktop, so you don’t get to see your console window. But the UNC access is a really big deal for me, so it’s worth it.

Have you tried to run the Domino service with a different account (not SYSTEM)?
SYSTEM account doesn’t have the right to access shared/mapped drives but local drives.
