Problem with drivestatus

[jbennett]

Hi everyone,

I seem to be having a problem with drivestatus at the moment.

I'm trying to detect if a network storage drive is available.

The code works fine when i'm logged in but then as soon as I reboot and try again it doesn't work.

I keep having to switch between "INVALID" and "UNKNOWN" in the code to get it to work.

Hope this makes sense as it's driving me crazy.

Thanks

Post your code.

Is the drive mapped automatically on login? Does the network connect automatically to the share if it's not a mapped drive?

Hi,

I've got it to work now and it recognizes if the drive isn't available.

The only problem is the code doesn't continue once i connect the drive until I open the mapped drive from My Computer.

Strange?. It seems like the drive only becomes active once i've opened it.

EDIT

-----

The mapped drive is also set to reconnect on login and there isn't a username or password to login

Hmm i'm thinking something like the following

_RunDos (NET USE Y: $map_drive /persistent:YES)

The $map_drive bit is something I want to call from an .ini file. Is there any way of adding this to the _RunDos code

Thanks

_RunDos ("NET USE Y: " & $map_drive & " /persistent:YES")

Got it to work.

I want to add the Y: bit to my ini and use $drive_letter within that code.

How would I go about that as it doesn't seem to be working if I add that.

thanks
