I have a user who when she attempts to search for files or folders on a network drive there are no results. But I know the files are there because I can go and manually navigate to the files? This has just happened all of a sudden. Any suggestions?

Is she actually connected? Does she still have permmision to search that drive?

When something stops connecting that used to work, check the connecting method first.

PS, make sure the user didn't change something, like the workgroup, login account, etc.

Thanks for your quick response. Yes she still has permissions to this drive(its her home folder) and she is connected to the network, had her reboot for good measure. She can open the files in the folder by using explorer and manually navigating to the files.
