My application writes a text data file to a folder on another computer. The
other computer is mapped by drive letter to the root (C) shared folder, eg as
G:. The network is simple peer2peer, shared root folders etc.
Immediately after restarting the application computer, and when my
application attempts to write to the mapped network computer G:, VB returns a
"network not accessible" error.
This error will persist until I open WinExplorer on the local computer and
click on the network drive letter G:. I then close Explorer and my
application will happily write to the remote folder on G: (until the computer
is restarted).
I overcome this in a very awkward manner, writing a script that opens the
network drive with the command "explorer \G"
Any assistance greatly appreciated.

Try using UNC naming convention
\\Server\Share\ Filename
Otherwise you may want to post this in a VB6 newsgroup... This is a
..net group.

Thanks Chris,
I suspected that may be the only way which I will need to try.

I wrote my own directory browser in order to get around a bug where
tkFileDialog.askdirectory() can't handle non-ascii paths. However, I
have a problem where I call os.listdir() on a mapped network drive,
e.g. os.listdir("Z:\\"), and if the network drive is unavailable, the
UI hangs until the OS returns with an exception because the network
shared drive is unavailable.
I would like to work around this by simply not looking into ...

Hello,
Im grabbing tables via VB code using visual foxpro ODBC drives.
The tables directory is in a mapped network drive. The code works fine
and does the job, however if the computer is idle for a while the
network drive apears to have a red X on the icon and the drive becomes
disconnected. this seems to effect the VB code from grabbing the
tables. I get an error saying the specific table cannot be found. If i

Hi All,
I am trying to access a mapped network drive from a service that I have
created.
The service needs to create/delete folders/files on a network drive. When I
tried to connect to a folder on mapped network drive (eg. N:\Storage that
corresponds to \\FS1NS\SharedDir\), I get an error as "Could not find part
of path N:\".

I have a service which is a Windows Service, but it is running under a User
account - I enter my own credentials on installing.
It can access network files by specifying the full UNC path, i.e.
\\server\share, but it can't use mapped drive letters.
Is there anyway I can modify it so that it can?
Thanks

Hello,
I'm trying to create an admin page that can run miscellaneous scripts for
our IT department. Currently, I'm trying to create a script that can map a
network drive for a user (e.g. a form where I can input \\path\folder, drive
letter, and domain\user). Is this possible? If so, can someone point me in
the right direction?
Thank you,
