DECLARE INTEGER WNetAddConnection IN "mpr.dll" ;
 STRING cRemoteName, ;
 STRING cPassword, ;
 STRING cLocalName


cResource = "\\Server\ShareName"
cPassword = "MyPassword"
cDriveLetter = "Y:"

? WNetAddConnection(cResource, cPassword, cDriveLetter)


cResource = "\\Server\AnotherShare"
cPassword = chr(0)  && important distinction from the original (no password)
cDriveLetter = "Q:"

lnRetval = WNetAddConnection(cResource, cPassword, cDriveLetter)

?lnRetVal

A return of 0 means the connection was made. You get a non-zero value for a
failure to add a new connection. I got an 85 for a connection that already
exists, and a 67 for one that failed.

If you have access to the Windows Scripting Host you can do the following

oNet   = CreateObject("Wscript.Network")
oFSO   = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

If oFSO.DriveExists("ShareName")
    oNet.MapNetworkDrive("DriveLetter:", "ShareName")
    MessageBox("Drive DriveLetter mapped to ShareName",0,"Drive mapped")
Else
 MessageBox("ShareName cannot be found",0,"Drive NOT mapped")
EndIf
