Using the FSO to map LANs

[Smithy]

I am using this code to map all the drives on my local machine but would like to dearly know how to access the shared files and folders on the lan we have and map them as well, can anyone help please.



Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim objDrive As drive

For Each objDrive In fso.Drives
cboDrives.AddItem objDrive 'map the local drives into cbo
Next



This works great but I cannot find out how to do this with the lan machines?? Can anyone help me out please, I have tried the UNC method:


For Each objDrive In fso.Drives("\\SERVERNAME\.."


but all get back is "Path not found", I do know its possible but am unsure as how to expand on what I have, there is very little info on this I can find.

Any help would be most appreciated.


Happy days,

Smithy.

I remember reading something about not being able to access "\\Servername\" as a folder - you have to use "\\Servername\folder\", which would require you know the folder names ahead of time, which won't help you much.

I think you'll need the NetShareEnum or WNetEnumResource API calls to do what you need. This site probably has the info:

Tanks Josh, will let you know if that works and will post a routine to do it, may help others but for now thanks for the reply.

If anyone else has any more information please continue posting
