>I've got a product that is supposed to take legacy COBOL code and port it into a COBOL/CGI project suitable for Internet. It does this quite well. The problem is having the application find the data. As long as I am in development mode, it uses my mappings and finds the data files with no problem. As soon as I move the app to the test server, it can't. Even with a drive (share) mapped to the data server.

Have you tried using UNCs rather than mapped drives? (this assumes VFP 5.0)

You can also create a drive mapping on the fly using API calls from VFP 3 or 5:

,pre>
DECLARE INTEGER WNetAddConnection IN Win32API ;
STRING cRemoteUNC, ;
STRING cPassword, ;
STRING cLocalDrive
* password and UNC should be null (CHR(0)) terminated, drive letter should be drive letter +':'
IF WNetAddConnection( cUNCToMap, cPasswordToUse, cDriveLetterToMap) = 0
* It worked
ELSE
* It failed
