Hi!

Where you call that COM DLL from? Remember that certain services, like WEB server, SQL Server and MTS work under another account logon on the machine. This logon could not have mapped logical drive 'Z', as well as could not have an access to the network at all. By default WEBs erver logons as special user on the machine. You require to add this user to the network domain to access network drives. Also, you will require to logon with that user separately and organize mapped drive for it. Giving access to the network for SQl Server or WEB server is too dangerous, because it requires VERY accurate access rights definition. Think about it more.

BTW, you can access network resources in VFP using UNC path: \\MACHINE\SHARENAME\Folder1\Folder2...\File.DBF, and get rid of the problem with mapping. Anyway, you require to give access rights to the network for user used to logon the system that calls your COM object.

HTH.
