The code I gave does work, but you may be right. VFP seems to handle the LPTSTR ref properly even with the use of STRING cVarName rather than STRING @cVarName. It's old code from one of our classlibs at work, which we've replaced with calls to WNetAddConnection3(), which requires an HWND and an LPNETRESOURCE

The C prototype for the API call is:

DWORD WNetAddConnection( LPTSTR lpRemoteName, // pointer to network device name
LPTSTR lpPassword, // pointer to password
LPTSTR lpLocalName // pointer to local device name);
