drive mapping for different sessions

I would like to be able to map an R: drive for an application. I know this sounds simple but here is the catch:

The app has various components based on location ie. Canada vs. Brazil. Scripts get called from an R: drive that is hard coded into the app.

If I have an admin who needs to be in the app for Canada and for Brazil at the same time I would need an R: Drive mapped twice. Does anyone know how to get drives mapped based on sessions? Or if this can even be done? Or any other way that you may think to do something like this? I have been banging my head for a few days and feel that this should be able to be done but am drawing a blank.

The app is very specific to an R: drive mapping so I can not simply just use other drive letters.

Soryy Charlie, there is no way you can have two R: drives mapped at the same time. You can however have two different login scripts for users pointing them to either Canada or Brazil. You can also map multiple sessions to a network resource without drive letters ex. \\servername\sharename this can be either scripted or executed from the run command.

Hope this helps.
