Hi Jeff,

The following function will do the trick:

FUNCTION ConnectName
  * Returns the name of the device
  LPARAMETER pc_device

  DECLARE INTEGER WNetGetConnection IN Win32API;
    STRING @lpszLocalName, STRING @lpbuffer, INTEGER @lnbufsize
  LOCAL lcresult, lcdevice, lcbuffer, lnsize, lnerr 
  lcresult = ""
  lcbuffer = SPACE(200) + CHR(0)
  lnsize = LEN(lcbuffer)
  lcdevice = pc_device
  IF RIGHT(lcdevice, 1) # CHR(0)
    lcdevice = lcdevice + CHR(0)
  ENDIF
  lnerr = WNetGetConnection(@lcdevice, @lcbuffer, @lnsize) 
  IF lnerr = 0
    lcresult = LEFT(lcbuffer, AT(CHR(0), lcbuffer) - 1)
  ENDIF
  RETURN lcresult
ENDFUNC
