Stephen.
I regularly use the UNC address rather than the mapped drive letter in my
scripts. Here is a snippet of VB code where the paths are set and then
checked.
Dim test1 As Boolean
Dim test2 As Boolean
Dim fs As Object
Set fs = CreateObject("scripting.filesystemobject")
OutFolder = "\\clientimp01\c\outbound\ksmd\"
InFolder = "\\bridge\c\bridge\payacks\ksmd\get\"
test1 = False
test2 = False
' Check for existence of data paths. If path is not found then
' add message to log file.
test1 = fs.folderexists(OutFolder)
If test1 = False Then
Msg_ = "Path " & OutFolder & " is not available."
AddLog Msg_
End If
test2 = fs.folderexists(InFolder)
If test2 = False Then
Msg_ = "Path " & InFolder & " is not available."
AddLog Msg_
End If

Subject: [Talk] UNC vs mapped drives
All of my scripts on my scripting server interact with other files on
other servers. I have several mapped drives set up pointing to the
appropriate folders. However, I run into problems as the mapped drives
are very unreliable. They will disconnect and cause the the script to
crash. The only other option I can think of is simply using the UNC path
instead of a mapped drive. But I have been unsuccessfuly with this in the
past. Will Boston Workstation recognize and interact properly using the
UNC paths? If not, any recommendations on how to keep my mapped drives
up? I have reconnect at login set to Y, but the machine is never logged
off, so there is no logging in to reconnect the drive. Is there a VB
command that I can run in the beginning of each script to make sure the
drive is connected, All suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Stephen Smesny
