2043	IniRead, IniReadSection don't  access ,INI files from mapped drives	qgam.mad@…		"'''IniRead''' gives always default results from 'x.ini' at working dir or in @ScriptDir&'\x.ini' whem @workingdir or @scriptdir are folders in a mapped drive. But '''@error is 0'''

Accidentally, I needed to move the folder \DEV from local disk B: to N:\AutoIt in another disk (a shared folder).. Then I dropped disk B:, mapped B: to N;\AutoIt and tried to continue using the programs. 


But a lot of my programas in the folder ''DEV'' gave bad results - both from Scite and .exe,  when accesed from ''DEV'' in mapped drive ''B:''. Those use '''IniRead'''. '''IniRead''' see an existing ''.ini'' file, but process it as if the ''.ini'' file were an empty file (the same for '''IniReadSection'''). Nevertheless the results are as good as expected when programs are accesed form ''DEV'' in ''N:\AutoIt'' (N: is a local drive).


It happens as if '''InitRead''' cannot read the ''.ini'' file when ''.ini'' drive is mapped. But '''IniRead''' don't see this as an error
and don't @errot to 1.
