You can use the win API WNetGetUniversalName() to return the UNC name for a drive that is "mapped" to a "local" drive (C->Z).
Hey Alan,
You may have already answered this, but I just ran into the same brick wall. Here's what I ended up doing. The UNC path was showing in the path of the "DriveListBox.Drive". I just editted it out and added on the Folder & File Name.
UNCPath = Mid(driveSet.Drive, InStr(1, driveSet.Drive, "[", vbTextCompare) + 1, Len(driveSet.Drive) - (InStr(1, driveSet.Drive, "[", vbTextCompare) + 1))
Hope this helps you out some!!
