>>Hi all, anyone familiar with an API call to map and then unmap a network drive (running VFP 6 on NT Workstation)?

The application has to go to each drive on the network and create a table of each cad drawing that exists. The client can't keep all the drives permanently mapped due to the number of them (over 35!)

That works great. Now, how do make the new drive mapping part of the search path?
