"I wish to map desktop pc drive"

Mapping a drive to a device is done at the Operating System level, not in the application - in your case within Windows XP.

Once that mapping has been done, your FP application can utilize it (or not) within your code.

You should talk to your network administrator to get the mapping set up within your laptop.

If that mapping assignment is consistent with the other workstations using the FP application, then the application will be able to consistently use it. However if a physical device should be Drive K: in one workstation and the same device is Drive: G in another workstation (laptop or not), then your FP application will have a problem utilizing the device through its map 'name'.

Good Luck,

Thank you, JRB-Bldr

I can map any computer drive within LOCAL AREA NETWORK. by following command in fpw.

lnAddConn=RegFn('WNetAddConnection','CCC','I')
=CallFn(lnAddConn,LogServerName,LogPasswName,'Z:')

But I wish to map another computer via internet like third party software "teamviewer" etc.,

LIKE, Some high-end software works ON-LINE data entry & entered data browsing on the net.

Thank you, Regards.

That's not how youd do map a drive over the internet. You'd virtually extend the LAN via a VPN tunnel and make it a WAN, then you can map a drive as in the LAN.

But the simpler thing is actually use the remote desktop PC viwa teamviwer or pcanywhere or the like on your notebook from home, not only the remote drive is mapped, but you're using the application itself remotely.
