VC++ 6.0 dll can not access a network drive

Hi All,

I have a VC 6.0 dll, which is called from one another exe. This dll in
turn will execute couple of programs in a network with CreateProcess.
When I ran the CreateProcess, my getlast error returned with error
code 3 (directory not found). I opened a dos box and I was able to
switch to the network drive without any problem.
I checked and made sure the user has full permission to the drive
where he is trying to access the files.
The program is running under vista OS. The server is Windows 2K3.

I wrote a simple console application in VC 6.0, which does nothing but
do a lookup on a file on the network and it successfully finding the
file. Doesn't have any problem in identifying the network, what could
be the problem in this one?

Any ideas why would this happen?

Thanks.
