    Connect to Network With Authentication

    Hi all I want to map a network drive. If the user has access to that
    site then that path will map automatically. If the user doesnt have any rights
    the i need to get the username and pwd from the user by using windows authentication screen. For example the
    WNetConnectionD ialog shows the mapnetwork drive dialogbox.For example if you open an IE explorer and type the servername which you dont have access

    In the mean while I found WNetAddConnecti on Function can be used to map that drive.

    Here is the code I am using.But I am facing one problem

    [CODE=vb]Option Explicit
    Private m_WindowsUserNa me As String
    Private m_NetworkPath As String
    Private ErrInfo As Long
    'Initialization of Varraibles
    'Private Sub Class_Initializ e()
    ' MapDrive
    'End Sub

    Private Function MapDrive()
    Dim NetR As NETRESOURCE
    Dim MyPass As String, MyUser As String
    NetR.dwScope = RESOURCE_GLOBAL NET
    NetR.dwType = RESOURCETYPE_DI SK
    NetR.dwDisplayT ype = RESOURCEDISPLAY TYPE_SHARE
    NetR.dwUsage = RESOURCEUSAGE_C ONNECTABLE
    NetR.lpLocalNam e = "X:" ' If undefined, Connect with no device
    NetR.lpRemoteNa me = m_NetworkPath ' Your valid share
    ' If the MyPass and MyUser arguments are null (use vbNullString), the
    ' user context for the process provides the default user name.
    ErrInfo = WNetAddConnecti on2(NetR, MyPass, MyUser, _
    CONNECT_INTERAC TIVE Or CONNECT_PROMPT)
    'CONNECT_INTERA CTIVE )
    If ErrInfo = NO_ERROR Then
    MsgBox "Net Connection Successful!", vbExclamation, "Share Connected"
    Else
    MsgBox GetErrorInfo, vbExclamation, "Share Not Connected"
    End If
    End Function

    'Function get the Error description using Error Id
    Private Function GetErrorInfo() As String
    If ErrInfo = NO_ERROR Then
    'If no Error do nothing
    ElseIf ErrInfo = ERROR_CANCELLED Then
    GetErrorInfo = "User Cancelled !"
    ElseIf ErrInfo = ERROR_NO_NET_OR _BAD_PATH Then
    GetErrorInfo = "Network Not Found !"
    ElseIf ErrInfo = ERROR_NO_NETWOR K Then
    GetErrorInfo = "Network Not Found !"
    ElseIf ErrInfo = ERROR_DEVICE_AL READY_REMEMBERE D Then
    GetErrorInfo = "The Network is Already Connect. Please disconnect it and try again !"
    Else
    GetErrorInfo = ErrInfo & " - Net Connection Failed!"
    End If
    If Len(GetErrorInf o) > 0 Then
    GetErrorInfo = "ERROR : " & GetErrorInfo
    End If
    End Function

    Public Property Get NetWorkPath() As String
    NetWorkPath = m_NetworkPath
    End Property

    Public Property Let NetWorkPath(ByV al vNewValue As String)
    m_NetworkPath = vNewValue
    End Property

    Public Function MapRemoteDrive( )
    MapDrive
    End Function [/CODE]

    But Now I am facing one problem.Even If i have permision to that server it still prompting for username and password .I dont wy.I want to use the default username and password to map the drive.If it doesnt match, it has to dispay the
    authentication window.Can some one Help

    Thanks in advance
