Hello,
 I have this application written in Borland C++ Builder 5.5 (running as
windows Service on XP Machine) and I am trying to access a network mapped
drive inside the application and it always returns error and doesn't
recognize the network mapped drive. (I am using SetCurrentDir(),
FileExists(), ForceDirectories() methods).

When the same runs as an application there is no problem in accessing the
network drive. Does anyone come across this problem and is there any
solution for this?

I appreciate your help in advance.
Thanks
Vish
