Re: Connecting to a network share not working in a Windows Service

Good grief, not only did I write Windiows Wervice, but I cut'n'paste the
wrong API!

Appologies to all.

The Correct API is "WNetAddConnection2"

FYI I tried one of the other suggestions and set the project installer to
use NetworkService. On my PC this is great, but on a.n.other server (where I
log on as Admin to install) I get

"The account name is invalid or does not exist, or the password is invalid
for the account name specified."

Unless I can install it I cannot set the account under which it runs, soI'm
a bit stumped.
