List,
I've got it all figured out. I restarted all Oracle services under a domain account and added the UNC path to the UTL_FILE_DIR parameter.

List,
One of our web developers wants to extract a text file from Oracle and put it directly into a mapped drive that points to another NT server which acts as our web server. He's using a trigger to do this. I thought we could map one of the web server's drive on the database server, have Oracle see it through the UTIL_DIR parameter and the problem should be solved. Well, partly. This will only work if the OS account that was used to create the mapped drive is currrently logged into the database server. Onec the account/user is logged offOtherwise, it doesn't.
We considered calling a NET USE command from within the PL/SQL program but it doesn't look as simple as we thought it should be. Is there a different solution to this problem or a better way than using the external procedure approach?
Thanks,
George
