Impersonate

VS2003
I have a windowsform app that I wrote in VB.net. I am using SQL2005
reporting services on 2003 server. In my vb.net code I place the URL of the
report in a link that does a
Process.Start("http:\\www.myserver.com\reports.... ").
The windows 2k3 server has (needs) Windows Authen so it prompts me to login
in with a standard windows logon box. I enter the username and password of a
common user on the server and the web page shows up. I would like to pass
the credentials through to the server from the vb app without prompting them
every time they try to access the server. How can I do this? I tried to use
impersonation code using WNetAddConnection2 passing
"http:\www.myserver.com...",username,password,"rep orts" with the NETRESOURCE
struc
but I get error network name not found. I cant find the right parameter
combo. How can I pass credentials to the web server, instead of manually
entering them every time. I have already authenticated the user when he
first runs the app. The server is an internet server. I thought about using
SENDKEYS but that seems cheesy...
Thanks,
BUC

Replace "\\" with "//" and "\" with "/".
"http:\www.myserver.com...",username,password,"rep orts" with the
NETRESOURCE

Dito.
