It is hard to tell what is wrong from your line of code; everything looks okay. Try adding a little bit to your code:

$map = DriveMapAdd("Z:", "\\servername\" & @UserName & "id")
If $map = 0 Then MsgBox (0, "Error Number", @error)

This will tell you what the actual error is, or even if there is an error.

Maybe there is a space in th "id" !?

The fact that you received an error means something is not correct in your path. Keep in mind that @Username is the user name of the person logged on to that computer. So if SerialKiller was the user name then the path would be...?

\\Servername\SerialKillerid

Not knowing how you map things in your company, it is hard to troubleshoot exactly why you are getting the error. I am not sure why you would have an "id" after the user name, but we do some "not quite normal" things at my company too.

Edit: Other questions....

Are those directories (with the "id") shared? Does the local user have rights to the directory being mapped?
