Michael,

The connect-to-a-share seems to do the trick. My collegue Kurt (male and ugly) sends you a kiss !
We use 'RUN net use i: sharename' ; but this makes a blackbox popup for a second. Not that it's a that bad, but don't you know a way to avoid this ?

Thanks for the help anyway and have a VERY nice day and weekend !

Pascal.
