Hi:

I am writing a Windows Services using VB.net to access files on a Novell drive. How do I connect to the Novell drive from Windows services?

I am using WinXP(Pro), Novell Client for Windows ver 4.83 SP 1.

Thank you in advance!

Click to expand...

Most likely, you'll need to either access it through a UNC path
(something like \\MyNovellServer1\Volume\Dir1\Dir2\...), or then map a
Windows drive to a Novell volume / directory and access it that way.

Marc,

Can you elaborate on this..? BTW MS KB advises against using mapped
drives on a "Windows Service". I too need to get this to work and it
fails miserably.
