To connect a network drive

[ssimop]

To connect a network drive I call a DOS .bat file, which uses the dos-prompt command "net use z: \\147.......\abc" as it follows :

Function ConnectNetDrive

Code:

Copy      Help

if(RunConsole2("$my qm$\Files\Connect_Z.bat"))
,_s="Command failed, get advice fron QM output"
,min 0; err out "<>%s : <open ''%s /%i''>%s</open> - %s" NowT si _error.place si _s
,mac "Warning_QM" si 0
,end

I wonder whether it exists a QM callable function to do it in an elegant way.

Many thanks !

A network drive mapping is for current user only. On Windows Vista and later, there are 2 users simultaneously - standard user and admin. If QM is running as admin, the mapping is visible only to QM and other admin programs, and therefore is not displayed in Windows Explorer. If QM is running as standard user (User or uiAccess), the mapping is not visible to admin programs; it's the same as when you map in Windows Explorer. It seems there is a registry setting to make it visible to admin and standard user: http://www.winability.com/how-to-make-e ... rk-drives/

Dear Gintaras,

Could you please re-write MapNetworkDrive command using also (including) username and password of the connection to be mapped.

Many thanks, Best regards.
