VB won’t see html file on NT virtual dir

by tshelley . Updated 25 years, 4 months ago

We are running iis4.0sp4 in a mixed nt/novell environment. Our web server has a limited amount of disk space so we were storing html files that our clients needed access to on a novell server. Because of a lack of space and other reasons we needed to move those files from the novell server to another server running NT4sp6. I set up a virtual directory in iis pointed at a sub-folder on the mass storage server. Every day we generate an html activity report file for our clients, if there’s no activity no html file is generated. On the web site we can make a link to the files there but when we run a visual basic program to reference it doesn’t see them but will see files if they’re on the novell server. When a client wants to look at a report a VB program is run which checks to see if the file exists, if it does it is displayed, if not the program shows a different page which says ?No activity? etc. We need it do this because when a client wants to see a daily volume report we need to be able to tell them if there’s no activity. Now they just get a ‘page not found error’. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
