Problems with win32 API conncet to network drive.

[Stieberth]

Hi!

I use this API:
Declare Function WNetAddConnection Lib "MPR.DLL" Alias "WNetAddConnectionA" (ByVal lpszNetPath As String, ByVal lpszPassword As String, ByVal lpszLocalName As String) As Long
Declare Function WNetCancelConnection Lib "MPR.DLL" Alias "WNetCancelConnectionA" (ByVal lpszName As String, ByVal bForce As Long) As Long

And i use this in the code:
G1 = WNetAddConnection(share_path1, "", "G:")
K1 = WNetAddConnection(share_path3, "", "K:")

The problem is that if I try to connect i get an error.
If I first manuelly connect to a different drive on the same server and then run my program it works.



help me, please !!

I'd check on the 2nd parameter as if I read the documentation correctly, you are neither passing a NULL value nor an empty string. I think you either need to modify your API Declaration to

Declare Function WNetAddConnection Lib "MPR.DLL" Alias "WNetAddConnectionA" (ByVal lpszNetPath As String, ByVal lpszPassword As [b]Long[/b], ByVal lpszLocalName As String) As Long

an dthe call to

G1 = WNetAddConnection(share_path1, 0&, "G:")

Likewise what does the value of G1 show after you run rhe code?

Take Care
