I want to design a VFP executable that can be used to log a user into an NT server domain. The NET USE command from DOS accomplishes this task but I need to be able to obtain an error number or have the screen not release after posting a successful logon or unsuccessful login attempt. I have tried using the ">" to redirect the screen message to a file with no luck when called from a a click event of a VFP form. I am not able run a batch file because the username and password values are obtain from form controls. Does anyone have any suggestions has to how to obtain messages from the "net use" command???
