Don't know the code but to find out what drives are mapped and where =
there
are mapped to by going to a command prompt and typing 'net use'. Maybe =
you
could write a little util to grab this and use it for what you need.

Subject: FN-FORUM: Client Side Drive Mappings to UNC paths?



Hi y'all.

I'm writing a smallish Intranet system to allow users to pick up and =
view
document images on the local network. However, as with all users, their
drive mappings are not going to be consistent. Does anyone know of any =
way I
can pick up the UNC path from the drive mapping using client-side code?

E.g. User uses an to pick up t:\batch001\doc001.tif

On this machine, t:\ is mapped to "\\RAID\client01\matters\", so what I =
want
is for the ASP.NET page to pick up
"\\RAID\client01\matters\batch001\doc001.tif". However, on the server, =
t:\
is mapped to "\\EXCHANGE01\", so if I go with the t:\ mapping, it'll =
look
for \\EXCHANGE01\batch001\doc001.tif etc.

Uploading the files isn't an option because there are about 90 users and =
2
million images on the RAID system and politics won't allow me to get the
drive mappings standardised.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance

Andrew
