Map drive "on-the-Fly"

[Justin]

I need a way that when a file is created that it will be sent to a directory
that is on a dialer. Problem is that if user is using db and doesn't register
before hand the path, then error will occur, was wondering if there is a way
that I have like an on the fly mapping of the drive and after completion have
that drive delete from user pc. thanks

I've never done this, but it appears to be possible if you use the
Windows API functions WNetAddConnection() and WNetCancelConnection() (or
maybe WNetAddConnection2() and WNetCancelConnection2()).

A web search on these names should find examples of usage.

To map a drive, you need to have a url.

If you have a url, you can send the file directly to the url,
without using a mapping.
