Mapping Drives via INI file

I will try this again.
I am trying to map drive for groups in a domain via an INI file. I have been using Diederik de Groot login.ix and am modifying as required.

I am trying to get the variable $group to change by using EnumGroup function with no success. It sees the groups but will no connect drives.

Any help would be appreciated.

code:

Function ConnectGroupDrives()
	;******************************	
	; GroupShares
	;******************************
	
;Initialise $group so it is not empty

$group=0

	If Exist($FileLocation + "\shares.ini")
		If $group=0
			For $x = 1 to 10
				$group = EnumGroup($Index)
				$Index=$Index+1
					$DriveDefinition = ReadProfileString($FileLocation + "\shares.ini", $group, "drive" + $x)
					If @ERROR = 0
						If $DriveDefinition<>""
							ConnectShare($DriveDefinition)
						EndIf
					Else
						Return
					EndIf
				
			Next 
		EndIf
	EndIf
EndFunction

SAMPLE Share.ini file
[MAPAll]
Drive1="F:, \\Server1\PUBLIC, MAPAll"

[CompServAdmin]
Drive1="J:, \\Server1\CCshare,CCshare"
Drive2="K:, \\Server1\e$,E"
Drive3="L:, \\Server1\c$,C"

TIA

The UDF forum is not a place to discuss problems with someone else's UDF but rather, a place to share UDFs of your own creation. There are also strict guidelines to be followed for UDFs. That said, a moderator will move this thread. Last time you posted a snippet of code that did not include the UDF. This time you posted just one of the UDFs without the callin code. You also failed to post the ConnectShare() UDF that this UDF calls. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

I think this covers what you need in your request - ENUMINI() - Enumerate an INI file It is really a MapDrive() UDF, but uses an INI database. Note: It does not work with shares that have a space within them. Kent _________________________ Utilize these resources: UDFs (Full List) KiXtart FAQ & How to's

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	Looking at what code there is posted... In your function you have: $group=0 ... ReadProfileString($FileLocation + "\shares.ini", $group, "drive" + $x) The syntax is supposed to be: ReadProfileString ("file name", "section", "key") I cannot see where $group is valid as a section name. Also, have to wonder why the data in the INI is wrapped in quotes but not seeing the ConnectShare() UDF, all I can do is wonder. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.
