Hi,  
I’m getting this error when I trigger a script using a timer in the event gateway but when I run the script from the script playground it runs ok.

ERROR 11:54:00 AM TimerScriptTask Error executing global timer script: CSVImport @1,000ms . Repeat errors of this type will be logged as ‘debug’ messages.

Traceback (most recent call last):  
File “\<TimerScript:Wexford/CSVImport @1,000ms \>”, line 41, in   
File “module:app.CSVImport”, line 174, in ImportPMAC  
OSError: (2, ‘No such file or directory’, ‘P:\Export’)

Looking at this:

```auto
OSError: (2, 'No such file or directory', 'P:\\Export')
```

My first guess would be your client has this network drive mapping and your gatway does not.

Mapped drives are per user. By default the Ignition services uses the Local System account.  
You can try changing the path to \ipaddress\Export or changing the service account logon to a domain user.
