The WebCatalog service runs as a specific user, with specific rights. That user typically is a machine account, with no rights to any network resources. There is no way to set up a _server_ to access another server's resources. You can only give a _user_ rights to resources. What you did was create a drive map under a specific account (probably Administrator or your local login), but that drive map is not available to other accounts on the machine. > So is it impossible to have your Webcatalog files placed on another > computer than the actual webserver? Or am I doing something wrong. I don't know why you would want to, but I strongly recommend against even attempting it. I'm not even sure it is possible (since the remote folder must be referenced via a UNC path). Even though I have done similary things in the past (e-mail server with mailboxes on a different drive), it is a major pain and not worth the effort, IMNSHO.
