I have the following, small question:

<>
SELECT
CASE (@INWIN = 1) AND (@DOS >= 5) $OSConnection = "USE "
CASE (@INWIN = 1) AND (@DOS >= 4) $OSConnection = "SUBST "
CASE (1) $OSConnection = "USE"
ENDSELECT
;<>
$OSConnection S: "\\CHSVR1\Sales" /PERSISTENT

the idea is, that we have NT & W2K in our network, an from what I found out is, that if you just use "USE S: "\\CHSVR1\Sales" for the connect - on the NT Clients you'll have the S: but you can't connect to it through an application, you first have to click on it in the file explorer and afterwards it's just running fine... if I connect it with SUBST (for nt4 of course) then it works from the beginning...

I found a lot of usefull information in this forum already (about shares, OS detection and so on) but most of the scripts I found were just to luxurios for our case, especially for the poor guy who has to handle it when I finished it ;-) so, therefore I'm really looking for a KISS solution (I presume it's just a matter on how to write the command correct)

thnks

Is this the answer your looking for ?

$nul = Execute('$OSConnection S: "\\CHSVR1\Sales" /PERSISTENT')

-Shawn

Shell('%comspec% /c $OSConnection S: "\\CHSVR1\Sales" /PERSISTENT')

-Shawn

well, the first one is working...
(at least on my W2k)

I'll try it tomorrow on a NT machine...

(It's 18:30 here and I didn't except an answer that fast, so I already did the rollout for today (with some other enhancements))

cheers & thnks
