>>Does anyone have a function that returns the UNC name ( e.g. \\ServerName\ShareName ) from a mapped drive letter e.g. F: or Z:?

>>I've tried both the API and WSH versions of Sergey's functions at http://www.berezniker.com/content/pages/visual-foxpro/returning-unc-path-associated-local-device . Neither of them appear to work on Win7, they both return the empty string for network and local drives.

>>UPDATE: never mind, both versions work. I think the issue is running VFP9 SP2 as an administrator; that is in effect a new local session with different drive mappings so the network mapped drive is not present in that new session.
