Hi.
I am trying to use NetUseAdd (netapi32) in a VB6 program to create a use record for a share on a server using credentials other than those of the current user. It seems to create the use record (i.e. when I type "net use" at the command line, I see that the share is listed). However, when I try to access files in that share from my program, I get permission denied errors. I was under the impression that all accesses to that share would be done using the credentials that the use record was created with in the current session. Any clue what I could be missing???

Which operating system do you have ?

In windows 95/98 there is no way to log on to a share as another user. I assume the windows API's behaves similar to the net.exe program.

In NT/2k/XP it should work properly.
