One of my stored procedures writes a log text file into Log folder on my server. I tested it in my local computer (Win2000 Pro) and also in our Dev Server (Win2000 Server) and it works without any error. But it doesn't work on our Test server (Win2003). Here is what I did: 1. Mapped a drive on the server's consol, i.e. MAP S: E:\Shared2. From a TS session I can "see" the S: drive and write or create in it.3. Run the following code in QA (I am using sysadmin user id to connect QA): DECLARE @CommandStr VarChar(8000), @FileName VarChar(20)SET @FileName = 'S:\Test'SET @CommandStr = 'Echo This is a TEST! >> ' + @FileNameexec master..xp_cmdshell @CommandStrGO It says "Path not found" which is the S:\ . There should be something wrong with Win2003. Have you had any experience on this issue?Canada DBA |

| Use the full UNC path instead of the drive letter. You should do that anyway in case jobs need to be scheduled.-------Moo. :) |
