>>Hello George, you answer helped me out also as I have been having trouble with making sure network resources were available. But my problem is this, I have established that UNC will be used through out my application, so I dont rely on the user being mapped to K: or J:, just that they are logged into the server. I will issue the \\402fs1\data\lotcard\data\drive.dbf to get to my data. So what I would like to know from you is how can I get to the second dialog that comes up from the above, when the user is not logged into the server. The dialog above lets them map a drive to a server resource, but if they are not logged in then it brings up the login screen. How can I just get the login screen to come up as I am using UNC's and mapping is not my problem?

>According to the SDK: "If the function attempts to make a connection and the provider returns the message ERROR_INVALID_PASSWORD, Windows prompts the user to enter a password and uses the new password in another attempt to make the connection." The value for ERROR_INVALID_PASSWORD is 86. I'll have to investigate the login dialog. It doesn't appear in the WNet... group. Does this help?

So what your saying is that I should trick it into thinking that the password was invalid and thus the login screen will come up?
