I’m having a problem with getting the DAS to convert a report and point to the correct folder on our web server. It’s giving me the following error message:
Error executing script [cannot create the specified directory (to deep!)]
I’m only trying to specify 3 folders deep (i.e. I:\intranet\users\username). Surely this isn’t too deep is it?
Can anybody tell me how deep I’m allowed to go? And is there a way to make it deeper?
I don’t have the DAS bible. Can somebody have a look in there for me please?
Does the error message say “Too Deep”? When I tried to have DAS send to a web directory, I received the same error. I then changed my syntax to UNC and it worked. So in your case, try changing I:\intranet\users\username to \SERVERNAME\INTRANET\USERS\USERNAME.
Does your DAS server (NT?) have Netware access to the server/path you are trying to save to? We had the exact same error, & it was simply a “rights”
issue that was resolved by our Network Staff.

I had this error a lot of times before I understood that it had nothing to do with the depth of directories !
It’s an authorization problem : if you start DAS with the system account, it won’t be authorized to write to a network drive. Start it with a user account that is authorized to write to the drive you specify. If you start DAS by double-clicking on its icon, check that you are logged under a user-id who is authorized to write to the drive. Being logged as a local Administrator (for example) causes this error for sure !

I often get a problem with that, when I used “wrong” slashes. Here an example:
wrong is //ECHAMS1/MIBSG/IMI\BO_Reports
correct is //ECHAMS1/MIBSG\IMI\BO_Reports where //ECHAMS1is the Webserver
/MIBSG is the Web
\IMI\BO_Reports is the directory structure.
Another idea: is your path “I:\intranet\users\username” accessible from the Doc Agent PC?
Hope that helps.

P.S. I’ll put a copy of the DAS Bible to ECHAMS1/common/DAS on our net. If you can’t pic it up there give me a mail.
