- Hi:
-
- I am developing an application that accesses a share on our server
- using a NetBIOS path string (i.e. \\SHARE\NAME\<path>\file.ext).
- I want to use this path string because the share name will not change,
-
- whereas the drive letter assignment a given user uses could at any
- time change. However, there is still a situation where I could make
- use of an API call that returns a drive letter being used.
-
- Do you know of an API call that returns network drive letter
- assignments? Is there a way to find out what drive is connected to
- \\SHARE\NAME for example, using the API interface??
-
- Please respond to patrick@xiris.com
-
- Thanks ......... PW
