For Security reasons, we need an application that sits on users desktops which will perform its own network logon to a particular share on a particular Windows 2000 server.

The user has not authenticated in any other way to this server until they launch this application.

All the users will already be logged on to a Novell network separately. Most of the users are now in Windows 98 but will be migrating to Win2K or WinXP in 1 year.

The application has to :

Ask for username and password (which will be created on Win2kServer)
Authenticate user
Perform specific drive mapping
Launch Specific VFP7 executable on server which wil be passed this user's name for auditing
Auto disconnect from Win2K server at exit and delete drive mapping

Any ideas?
