Steven,
You might want to check out the latest version of Kent Kersten's FileXtra3.
http://kblab.net/xtras/
UNC volume names are now supported, which means you you can test for
the presence of a network volume without mapping it to a drive letter.
set f = new( xtra "filextra3" )
set netVolumeExists = fx_VolumeExists( f, "\\SERVERNAME\ShareName\")
Not sure how to map it to a drive. Maybe BuddyAPI can help there. You
may even find that you don't need to map the volume to a drive letter.
Good luck,
Cole
