    Hello everybody,

    I created a tool that scans for Folder Sizes, File Sizes, File attributes.
    It works perfect on local machines and i want it to work on mapped network drives too.

    Anyone can tell me how to support Network Drives in my program.

    I would really appreciate it.

    (Please include some links to examples.)
    My knowledge in VB is intermediate.

    Thanks alor

    Thumbs up

    Just a stab in the dark, but maybe use an input text box where the user can define the drive letter required. I'd reckon a pc on a LAN treats a mapped nework drive the same as any other hard drives inside your box. You've prbably thought of this already but you never know. Any chance You could post the code?

    Cheers 'n' beers

    You are right

    Drives are accesible know.

    I entered a Inputbox for the user to set the UNC path and it works fine.

    Thanks for the reply

    You could use a DriveListBox so the user doesn't have to know the available shares.
