Is the following syntax of the SwitchTo statement correct when connecting to a network file:

SwitchTo "\\\\ac.basgs.com\\dfs\\group\\it\\guixt scripts\\guixt.ini"

No, this is not correct. Please do not double the \ characters and do not use inverted commas:

SwitchTo   \\ac.basgs.com\dfs\group\it\guixt scripts\guixt.ini
