>>>I have a VFP app running as a service on a NT machine. The problem I have is that the app needs to have a drive mapped to a different computer to run. Can I use the "WNetAddConnection" API to map a drive when no one is logged into the machine so the app will run right?

Normally, a user name is associated with the workstation. Since the workstation has to be on...Anyway, you can supply the password to use, so it should be an issue. Not having access to an NT server, it's a bit difficult for me to provide more information than this. I'd try to set up testing as close to the actual environment, of course.
