Remote data file...from windows apache server

Hi am using a cgi procedure with apache 2.49 on windows xp . I need
to open and write on some data file that are installed on another pc
that is connected as local drive (for examples F:\ ect.ect ) as drive
available on the computer resources for write and read.
Accessing the files the software issues an access wrong message..

I have tried (unsucesfully) the directive " by adding
inside the F:\DATAPATH (where datapath is the location from i need
open files)


Thanks

1) The Apache service runs in another user-id, which
probabgly doesn't have access to any network shared
directories. You can change the user-ID into one that does
have access to the shares.

2) All path expressions in httpd.conf should use forward
slashes, so F:\DATAPATH is incorrect, should be
F:/DATAPATH

3) Also, you must use the UNC name of the directories, as
in //fileservername/sharename/path/to/dir , not
F:/path/to/dir, because the diskletter assignments are
only valid during an end-user login, not service logins.
