Hi Eyal
Try and ask in the windows discussion group if there is a command to map a
drive using the Run window, if you do, try and run this command in Access
using the Shell command

x = Shell ("Comand line")

 

[SusanV]

To map a drive from a command prompt or in a batch file:

Net Use X: \\Server\share /y

(X being the drive letter)

To remove the mapping:

Net use X: /DELETE /y


For more info, at a command prompt type net use /?

You should not have to use mapped drives.

If you use UNC path names..then even those mahcines that do not have a
correclity setup drive will STILL bel able to use data in ms-access.

I make the case to advoied mapped drives in the folliwng article of mine:
