I am reaching out to see if anyone has ideas about this.

When I schedule a bot I receive and error “The directory 'F:\The rest of my file path' does not exist. Enter a valid directory.”

However if I run the bot unattended by pressing the play button on the automation screen I don’t receive that error.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Chris

​@Chris Delaney I’m going to assume your F: drive is a mapped network resource.

Could it be that your Bot Runner is running (or not running) a script upon being awakened to run the automation that is mapping (or is unmapping) the F: drive?

Have you considered using a UNC rather than a mapped drive?

Use full UNC path instead of mapped drive
