Map Network Drive
 

Hi All,
I need to Map Network to 12 different sites PC's ,around the
country. At present I'm doing this manually and after my routine has run I
manually Disconnect from each site otherwise it slows down the PC, especailly
when opening or closing a workbook.
Can this be done programatically. for example I have a site in say belfast
whose ID No. is \\bft-123456w\d$ D drive being the drive in question that
needs to be accessed. on some of the sites this also requires a User name and
Password. Does anyone have and idea on how the code should be written to
accomplish this.

Many regards
Lee

Create a file called leerem.bat containing the following three lines:

net use d: /delete /y
net use d: "\\bft-123456w\d$" /PERSISTENT:yes
pause

Then execute the .bat file

Just curious why you can't access files on that network share by using the UNC
path (not the mapped drive).
