Trying to use DriveMapAdd

[fox_91]

Hello, im kinda new to AutoIt, ive used it for some simple scripts but now we use it a work a little to automate some tasks, im trying to get this code to map a student's network drive in one of 3 ways, they can map 2 drives that students use most often, and theres a box for them to specify lesser ussed servers/shares.... i used the help file and tried to write this script, which works, but when the start button is clicked it says its finished, but it never maps a drive or errors or anything that would indicate that it works... ive tried to simply use some easy data to map somthing but nothing seems to work... could someone take a glance and see if i have some glaring error... thanks

Have you checked the return values of the DriveMapAdd?

$debug = DriveMapAdd(.....)

MsgBox(4096,"Debug", $debug)

Off the top of my head:

1) Make sure users have enough local permissions to map a drive. (Can they right-click My Computer, choose Map Network drive, and successfully map something?)

2) Do you need to specify a domain with the username?

$username = "DOMAIN\usr"

When i used your debug code, i just get a blank msgbox like it doesn't assign a value to $debug, tho i don't know what it would assign to it.

1) right now i have been trying it on my local machine, that wouldnt have those permission problems that you speak of, so i don't think that is at fault.

2)same as 1. i should be able to make a share local with hard coded, path, but it doens't seem to go.

The debugs should have returned the number 1 or 0. Actually, I should have told you to check the @error value. Just to make sure we are on the same page:

$msg = GUIGetMsg()

if $msg = $go then

if (guictrlread($check1)) = 1 then

DriveMapAdd ("*", "\\beyer\"&$username ,0,$username, $password)

Msgbox(4096,"Debug", @error)

EndIf

if (guictrlread($check2)) = 1 Then

DriveMapAdd ("*", "\\beyer\GUSHARE",8,$username, $password)

Msgbox(4096,"Debug", @error)

EndIf

if (guictrlread($check3)) = 1 Then

DriveMapAdd ("*", $path, 0,$username, $password)

Msgbox(4096,"Debug", @error)

EndIf

msgbox ("All Done", "All Done", "Thank You Come Again")

well i tried the debug line, and lucky me i got a 1 as the error, which as i recalled from the help file says Misc Error. hmm, is there somthing wrong with the line?

Ah, I see what we are overlooking:

$username = GUICtrlCreateInput ( "", 115, 5, 80, 20)

The $username variable is a control reference. If we want the text that the user typed into the input box, then we need GuiCtrlRead($username)
