Alternative to mapnetworkdrive?

[dwcolt]

As my other post indicates, I am having problems with the mapnetworkdrive command for a variety of reasons.

Is there any alternative VB script I could use to map a network drive from within Access? Any insight would sure be appreciated!!

As my other post indicates,

Hey I see you are new. Your "Other post" is the same question, you might find that you should not do that in forums.

First I have never done what you are trying, but it is kinda strange. Why do you need to map a drive for a user. I would have thought that it is something that you do once and forget about it.

Further - using a mapped drive is risky, as someone might choose a different letter and thus break your code later which is expecting your mapping. What happens if someone has mapped the drive already and then your code comes along and tries to mapp it again?

Normally people use the server name or UNC path.
