Mounted Network Drive Not Working

When using commands like countfiles, GetFileList, iffileexist with a path that is on a mounted network drive does not work. It does not get/see any files in a folder that obviously has files when viewed via explorer....

I am unable to replicate that. Often use these commands against network shares. Should see them same as Windows does.

Verify how you are addressing the folder

is it j:\QA\Documents....
Or are you using \\QAServer\Documents\....

Sometimes a mapped server does not play well with some of the commands (and other times it is fine???)
Thanks,
Jerry
