Thanks a lot for your answer, it was very helpful. However, since I see there are at least two approaches do accomplish this, I'd like to ask if both methods are available into the win 9x environment (without having to install any adds, my development machine has lots of things installe). In other words I would appreciate any advise about pros and cons on both methods, API calls and the scripting object.

Thanks in advance.

>You can make a connection to a shared folder using the Win32 API (WNetAddConnection(), WNetAddConnection2() or WNetAddConnection3() are capable of connecting to a folder with share-level security; WNetAddConnection() will not provide direct access to user-level shares unless the current userid is a valid user for the folder.) Alternatively, the Windows Script Host's Wscript.Network COM object has a MapNetworkDrive method that could make the needed connection. Once the shared folder is mapped and access has been authenticated, you can freely access the folder via the mapped connection.
