>Could you please let me see a code sample. I've solved (hope) how to build string in order to emulate a C structure to pass it as parameter. However I'm completely out about the terminology and concepts used to describe the structure components like dwScope, dwDisplayType, etc.

There's a sample implementation of WNetAddConnection3() in my NETRESOURCE class which can be downloaded from here on UT. You'll also need a copy of CLSHEAP, also downloadable from UT. I'd advise using the WSH component becuase of the other things that are gained from installing the WSH, not just the COM objects, which add a large number of capabilities that can be accessed via COM in VFP, but also scripting capabilities which can help automate many installation and installation maintenance related tasks. The amount of code involved in fully implementing the capabilities added through the various WSH COM components is considerable, and is far easier to deal with, in a far less OS-dependent fashion, via the COM objects.
You might want to ask Paul Frost for assitance here, he's made it clear that my code is not adequately or properly documented and my coding style is not up to his standards, and I'm sure his grasp and understanding of such things is infinitely superior to mine. OTOH, I've never seen a line of code or a comment of his, so YMMV.

>>>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.

>>The Win32 API calls do not require any add-on components, but do require writing and debugging significant code; the WSH components are simple COM objects and do not rquire any knowledge of how the underlying APIs work.
