Accessing/running Activex Document From A Shared Folder In A Computer Server
Hi everyone.
I have created an activex document project and I deployed it to other computer (server) using the deployment wizard of VB6 to a shared folder(OTFORM). I did set the sharing & security of the OTFORM as 'full access'. I thought everything's fine. Because it runs well in my browser. But when I checked and used the other computer's browser, that's how my problem started. I always get a 'download dialogue box' asking me if I'm going to open it or save it. I wonder why it behaves like this on the other computer. Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks in advance.

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

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?

Setup Net Shared Folder With Installshield
Im using installshield devstudio 9 to create a setup program for my Access DB app. During setup, I need to ask the user if the installation is for the "Client/Server" Machine or a "Client Only" Machine.
If "CLIENT/SERVER" is selected, I need to create a shared folder ("C:DBNET") with access permissions for "EVERYONE", copy the Access file there, and setup a registry key with the path.
If "CLIENT ONLY" is selected, I need to open up a "browsefolder" dialog for the network, let the user browse the LAN for the Access file, and write a regkey with the UNC path.
All machines on which the program will be installed are either Win2k or WinXP
I can easily do all of this stuff in VB with API's, but I have no clue how to automate it in INSTALLSHIELD. I was hoping someone has some practical experience with installshield, and could help get me going in the right direction.
