    Hi ,

    I need to check whether file exists in the folder in the server side.  Fso.FileExists always returns false irrespective of file exists.  In the code M is the Mapped drive.  IIS User has full permissions on the mapped drive.  Please help me in solving the problem.


    <%
Set fso = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
sPathWithoutExt = "M:\\" & Request("order_no") & "\\" & Request("order_no")
        If fso.FileExists(sPathWithoutExt & ".pdf") Then
                sPath = "http://www.testsite.com/images/" & Request("order_no") & "/" & Request("order_no")& ".pdf"
        Else
                spath = "http://www.testsite.com/images/" & Request("order_no") & "/" & Request("order_no")& ".tif"
        End If

        Set fso = Nothing
%>
