Closing a connection after employing MapNetworkDrive method 1

[adamrobert]

Hi,

Initially a big thanks to 'spazmann' for his earlier assistance.

I am employing the MapNetworkDrive method to connect to a server using the code below but I can't find a method which will close the connection once my file transfer process has completed.

Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network&quot
WshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "P:","\\SERVER\myshare", false, "username", "password"

Any advice would be really appreciated.

Cheers.

Hello adamrobert,

It is .RemoveNetworkDrive method.

Dim WshNetwork
Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
WshNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive "P:"

Note options avail

object.RemoveNetworkDrive(strName, [bForce], [bUpdateProfile])

Hi tsuji,

Where do I need to include the RemoveNetworkDrive method in my code?

Is VBScript executed in a top-down fashion and if so then should I include the method at the end of my code?

Cheers,

adamrobert,

Sure. Something like...

Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
WshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "P:","\\SERVER\myshare", false, "username", "password"

'do all the necessary thing
'make avail for all the necessary time

'If WshNetwork instance had been dereferenced
'else spare the following line
Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
WshNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive "P:"
Set WshNetwork = Nothing

Addendum

Also, should add that, if the above might mislead, you do not need to map and remove in one single vbs, obviously.

do you need to map a drive for a file transfer?? cant you just use a url instead?

Thanks for clarifying that tsuji.

Guys
I am new to this scripting thing.
Let me explain what I am trying to do.
I am trying to send a report which is in flat ASCII
format to a file on a network drive.
Then I want it also to print out on a high speed
dot matrix printer connected to a print server.

Any sample scripts I can get started on?
All help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks..AC
