Hey all.

Is it possible to open a password-protected folder on the network drive through VB if I know the password?

If you know this, please let me in on it.

Thanks so much.

Problem Running Macros From A Shared Folder/mapped Drive
I have an Excel workbook that exchanges data with an Access database using ADO. Both files are in the same directory

The VB code references the database by saying (abbridged)


Code:
chdir Thisworkbook.path
Set cnn = New ADODB.Connection
cnn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=DBName.mdb;"

The database and the workbook are stored on Computer#1. I would like to be able to use them from Computer#2 as well.

Everything works fine on Computer#1. On Computer #2 I get an error message saying something to the effect of "file c:..." not found". Of course it's not found, the file is not on Computer#2's C-drive!

I added a test subroutine that contains one line


Code:
msgbox thisworkbook.path

and ran it from Computer#2 (remember the file actually resides on Computer#1). The path was identified as one on Computer#2?!

What can I do to have the path properly identified? (say I map Computer#1's C-drive as E: on Computer#2, when run from Computer#2 can I list the path as E:...?)

If there is a different approach I should be taking, let me know.

Detecting A Shared Drive
Hi folks.

I writing an audit programme for my company and one of the things we are attempting to stamp out are shared drives without a password (on a lan).

I searched the forum and found a thread that pointed me to this site

http://www.mvps.org/vbnet/index.html...umresource.htm

This appeared to be what i wanted. The c: on my PC is set up so it is shared with another user but the routine fails to detect this. Am i on the right path or completely lost!?

Any help would be great

cheers

Connecting To A Shared Drive...
Hi!

Im making a dll that is supposed to move files from server A to server B.
Server B has a shared drive: \serverBdir, user = test and pass = test.

The problem is that Im not allowed to map \serverBdir on server A as a drive.
And I want the dll to make the connection automatic the first time it runs.

I have tryid using "net use \serverBdir test /user:test" with Shell. But this
is no good because the dll doesnt wait until the Net Use is finnished.

Code:
Shell "net use " & sDrive & " " & sPass & " /user:" & sUser


I have looket att MapNetworkDrive, WNetAddConnectio2, WNetUseConnection etc without any success.

Code:
Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
WshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "s:", sDrive, True, sUser, sPass


Is there anyone out there that have solved this problem or has any good idés?

I want to have the filename converted to

Logging In To Shared Drive On Another Computer
What i want to do is logon to the shared drive of another computer from inside my vb6 program.

The problem is before some of the stuff in my program can run it needs to be able to access a shared drive on another computer. Windows tends to drop the connection after a while so I want my program to be able to log in to the shared drive supplying the username and password so my program can reach the drive.

for example I want ot get to this folder using the username and password below
\thecomputer hefolder
username:user password:pass


Does anyone know of an easy way to do this.

Thanks

Code Help SQLServer On Shared Drive
I have this working on a single pc ie the SQL database and the app is on one pc only. Now I need to adapt it to have SQL Server on a network shared drive. You will notice that the image gets saved to a folder called rp currently on a single pc. I need to have the images saved to the same Drive as SQL Server (shared drive)on a server in a folder called rp. Can anyone help me as to how to modify the code so that the images will be saved to the proper folder on same drive as SQl Server and also the path that is inserted into the record in SQL be correct. At present it is setup only on one pc so I used C: etc for saving to the rp folder and also as the path in the database to the image. Don't worry bout the chkboxes they work fine. Since they are saved directly in SQL.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

System Files Over A Shared Drive?
I suspect this would be easy enought to try but I don't have access to a network...so I can't!

If a VB application is installed on a network shared drive to be run on client machines connected to that shared drive, does each and every client machine need all the VB system files (Msvbvm60.dll, .ocx's etc) installed LOCALLY or do they only need to be installed once to the server?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Connect To Shared Network Drive?
One little thing that might be a big thing. I'm  getting ready to deploy an app at work which will connect to a shared network drive
Path = H:MfgSharedMachinetime.mdb
At home I have an "H" drive on a second hard drive as a partition. So obviously I can connect to it no problem.
Problem?
I made the ASS U ME tion" If I can connect to it with Explorer from my workstation at work..........."
Question:
Will I have difficulties at work when the drive is not mapped the same way? Or will I need to have somthing like the ODBC string below?

oConn.Open "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};" & _
           "Dbq=H:\MfgSharedMachinetime.mdb;" & _
           "Uid=admin;" & _
           "Pwd="

How Do I Open File On Remote Shared Drive?
I'm trying to open and read in a file on the network.

The file exists in a shared folder e.g.:

\servernamesharedfolder$directoryfilename.txt

This is the actual path:

\uschmsis02
arrowcastsavedmail$TEST- PPP Commissions For Yesterday-Store635.txt

How do I open this file? I have tried both the open and filesystem object open commands and it keeps failing.

I have even tried mapping a drive on the server to the shared folder and it still won't open. Permissions are ok.

Is there a problem accessing files remotely from another server or something?

Standard.exe On Network Shared Drive Couldn't Be Deleted
Hi,

During testing period, I compiled a standardard.exe on the shared drive
to allow a few users to test it out.

Somehow I couldn't delete the program even when no one is using the
program.

I will get "Error Deleting File or Folder" message: Make sure the disk
is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in
use.

I am very sure that on one was using it because I made a log procedure
if anyone opened the program, it will log it.

How could this happen?

Log On To Shared Folder With Api?
Hi,
I need to fetch a file from a shared folder via a vb app.  The app is on win98, and the remote machine will be win98, but may be win2k in the future.  I will use the FileSystemObject to search and find it, then I'll either be doing FileCopy to bring it local or just Open it remotely to read it, but I get an error because I haven't logged onto the shared folder--it is password protected.  How do I use code (some api perhaps?) to log on in code to this folder?
Thanks,

Shared Folder... Permissions! ??
Hi everyone!
I am using JoshT code to share a folder on a computer with 2000 or xp.... and it works really good. Now.. the only thing is that this code gives permissions to everyone... and I need to give permissions only to a determined user.

So here is the code

VB Code:

I think I need to work around si2.shi2_permissions or si2.si2_permissions.... but I am lost.

PD. Have I told you how MSDN search sucks?
