Network drive

Hi there,

Currently in a python script I'm accessing a network drive using something like the following -

filePath = r"N:\EPA\ ...\file\\"

Not all the users though may have mapped that drive to N:

In Windows Explorer the drive appears similar to this -

Group (\\aaaap01.bbb.int) (N:)

What should I set filePath to without using N:

Thanks,

Don

Hi Don,

Try using the UNC path like the following:

env.workspace = r"\\katie\share\FGDB.gdb"

The syntax is like the following:

Please let me know if this was helpful!

Thanks Katie. A little after I posted that was exactly what I did. Works fine now.
