Can VBA log into SAMBA

Hello

I have a macro which calls files off of a Linux server. If I have not
already logged into SAMBA by opening a file manually, the VBA code fails.
When it tries to call the file, I get an error "Can't find".

Is there a way -- in conjunction with On Error Resume -- tht I can ensure
that if the macro runs, and Excel is not already logged into SAMBA, that it
will log itself in with the user and pword?

Thank you
