This is a bit risky.

If you run the NetUseWithCredentials, does it connect properly and can you see the connection from a command line using NET USE? Make sure the name under NET USE is exactly the same as what you put in NetUseDel. I'm guessing it may drop the dollar sign for some reason.

It took me some time, but finally I got the part on gaining access to the network share working.  The problem at the moment for me is that I get error 2250, network share does not exist, when trying to use NetUseDel to disconnect the share. -I know it's much to ask, but might you have some suggestions? The code I use calling the function in your class is as follows.: NetUseWithCredentials("\\172.21.7.218\ShareTest$", "Username", Nothing, "Password") The code using NetUseDel, and giving error 2250, is the following: NetUseDel(Nothing, "\\172.21.7.218\ShareTest$", ForceCond.USE_LOTS_OF_FORCE) From your comments I understand that this should be correct. Using net use from a command window does show the share, and using net use from that same command prompt to remove the share works properly. I hope you might have some suggestions. Thanks for your kind help and patience. Best regards, Leon droopy928gt@yahoo.com Dear Chris,
