>I am trying to help on a small office network that desktops are mapped to a server, and to a 'web server'. The regular server runs a regular vfp exe, and the data files reside on that server. There is a 'web component' that runs a separate exe on a server via RDP. Data is posted to the 'web server' dbf's from the work stations in the office. The RDP exe uses the data and posts info back to the regular server. The problem that is occurring is that the mapped drives randomly disconnect, which brings up an error on the desktops - as in 'Alias not found'. When opening windows explorer, one of the mapped drives will be marked with the red x indicating a broken connection. Click on it to connect again, and all works well until it randomly decides to disconnect again. Is there any way to check from within vfp if the drive is still connected, and if not, to reconnect before 'selecting' a file on the disconnected drive?

1642076ISTR years ago there were issues working with drives mapped in RDS sessions but I can't immediately find a reference. IIRC the workaround was to put the data on the RDS server itself so mapped drives were unnecessary.
