A bunch of ways; you can use:

DECLARE INTEGER WNetAddConnection IN Win32API ;
STRING cRemoteUNC, ;
STRING cPassword, ;
STRING cLocalDrive

nMyResult = WNetAddConnection('\\ServerMachine\ShareName\','MyPassword','Z:')

nMyResult should be 0 if the API call succeeds.

You can fire an interactive dialog via:

DECLARE INTEGER WNetConnectionDialog IN Win32API ;
INTEGER nWindowHandle, ;
INTEGER nDialogType

DECLARE INTEGER GetActiveWindow IN Win32API

nMyResult = WNetConnectionDialog(GetActiveWindow(),1)

nMyResult should be 0 if a drive is mapped via the dialog.
