Does anyone know of a way to get VFP to wake-up/activate a shared network drive?

ex:

- pc A has drive E: mapped to shared drive on pc B
- turn pc B off and restart pc A
- when pc A is booting and attempts to connect to drive E:, click cancel
- turn pc B back on and let it boot
- start VFP on pc A, ? DRIVETYPE('E:') returns 1, drive does not exist
- on pc A, switch to Windows Explorer and mouse-click on E:
- switch back to VFP, ? DRIVETYPE('E:') returns 4, removable or network drive

Is there something that can be done in VFP to connect to drive E: without having too access it in Windows Explorer first?

Thanks,
Mark
