Function Reference

DriveMapAdd

Maps a network drive.

DriveMapAdd ( "device", "remote share" [, flags [, "user" [, "password"]]] )

Parameters

device	The device to map, for example "O:" or "LPT1:". If you pass a blank string for this parameter a connection is made but not mapped to a specific drive. If you specify "*" an unused drive letter will be automatically selected.
remote share	The remote share to connect to in the form "\\server\share".
flags	[optional] A combination of the following: 0 = default 1 = Persistent mapping 8 = Show authentication dialog if required
user	[optional] The username to use to connect. In the form "username" or "domain\username".
password	[optional] The password to use to connect.

Return Value

Success:	Returns 1. (See Remarks)
Failure:	Returns 0 if a new mapping could not be created and sets @error (see below). (See Remarks)

Remarks

When the function fails (returns 0) @error contains extended information:
1 = Undefined / Other error. @extended set with Windows API return
2 = Access to the remote share was denied
3 = The device is already assigned
4 = Invalid device name
5 = Invalid remote share
6 = Invalid password

Note: When using "*" for the device parameter the drive letter selected will be returned instead of 1 or 0, e.g. "U:". If there was an error using "*" then a blank string "" will be returned.

If defined the user/password will be presented to the remote computer that will validate the credential.
