I need to map to a drive on another computer on the network. The network techs gave me the following batch file

NET USE R: /D
NET USE R: \\W0028109792\DATAWARE

In the app's startup I do a

RUN Yadayada.BAT

Sometimes I see a DOS window and everything is great and other times I do not see a DOS window (and my users have to run the BAT file manually from a shortcut on the desktop). Most of my users are running Win XP. We are still using VFP 6 SP5.

I am sure there is a better way of doing this in VFP (the politics of getting a login script are a problem at the moment).

Thanks.

Tim
