I have inherited an application that requires access to a network share, which mean the PC has to have a mapped drive before access can be gained (user and password required). Is it possible to gain access programmatically?
What I need to be able to do is check for existance of files, change their names and open them in notepad

Jump to PostQuite Possibly by using VBScript, Embeded into a VB6 application, you can simply map the drive.... this page gives you a pretty good idea as to use VBScript to map the drive:
