Status: Unverified
FACT(s) (Environment):
Windows XP
Progress 9.x
OpenEdge 10.x
SYMPTOM(s):
4GL/ABL: The SEARCH function does not find a mapped drive file when executed in an AppServer 4GL procedure.
The SEARCH function returns an unknown value (?) when executed in a remote AppServer procedure.
The mapped drive is listed in the AppServer's Agent's PROPATH using DOS drive and directory name convention. For example: N:\parent\child\etc
The AdminServer has been started using a user account from the Administrator group.
CAUSE:
This is a Windows XP security restriction as detailed in the Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 303308.
FIX:
Add the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) share name of the drive. For example: \\ServerName\department\division\username
