I have an application that reads from an access database on our network.
I'm having a problem where the program can't find the database until the
user tries to use the network.
For example he will have to go to my computer and double click on the
network drive before the program can find it. I'm assuming that when he
does that window's will login to the network then and that's why my program
can't find the database. Is there someway to force my program to login
window's to the network? Or is it some other problem that I'm having here?
Thanks for any help.
 
If this is dealing with windows98 then I think its a known issue. We have
always had our programs unmap/remap the drive prior to trying to access it
the first time. So far this has worked for us.

Actually I just tested the program in a Windows 98 and Windows 2000 system
and they are not having this problem. It only seems to happen with Windows
XP.
