Hello,

I'm connecting to a Win NT pc from my XP box using RAS. The connection is
made sucessfully but I can't share the resources at the remote server. Or
rather I can if I complete the process manually and wait about 30 secs for
the thing to authenticate, but i'm trying to create a VBA app which will do
it for me.

Has anyone experienced this problem before or know where I might find some
ideas on the subject? I've tried googling but i'm either looking for the
wrong stuff or it doesn't seem to exist.

Regards,

Ok, I think I have resolved it. What I had to do was map a drive locally to
the remote resources and then I was able to transfer files. I also had to
introduce a small delay (1000 ms) after each mapping attempt to allow the
drive to be checked. Once these were in place the application worked like a
dream.

Thanks for taking time to read this.
