What's the error number returned? You can get a list of error constants from the API Viewer (utility that can be installed as part of Visual Sttudio). For example, 5 is Access Denied.

WNetAddConnection uses the current acocunt to try and access the share. If your account doesn't then the function will fail. You might also try terminating the resource name with a chr(0). The SDK help says that the string should be NULL terminated.

HTH.
