WinApi::fileExists lock folder when from batch

Hi,

I want to save pdf file to a remote folder in Axapta 4.0

I use in a batch WinApi::fileExists() method.

When checking for file Axapta freezes and the folder looks like being blocked (for example when I try to open it from explorer)

Only when I restart the whole remote machine it unlocks, when restart AXServer no change.

Any solution for this?

Ps. class where WinApi::fileExists() is set to server, but run from other class set to Called from.

Should I use new InteropPermission with WinApi::fileExists() method?

I suspect (based on another discussion) that you have a huge amount of files in the folder and that you're connected to a network drive (which itself means that it won't be very fast). Is it the case?

Regarding your last question: no, there is no need for InteropPermission in this case.
