I am using Webservices to generate and save the Xml. basically made an object of XmlDocument which exposes funtion save. Function has passing parameter as path . So i can give local path as "C:\..." . It even works for localhost as "http:\\localhost\..." but when i change that to "http:\\iP of the comp on network " it thows an error. I also tried mapping of network drive and then give pathe as any local drive but in vain :( Meeta
