Paul,
Your experience mirrors mine. I have nearly 100 workstations, a mix of
Win7 and WinXP (and a couple of Win2k) and the Win7 workstations tend to
drop the network map links frequently. The users have stopped contacting
me about and have learned to just open WinExplorer, click the drive with
the little red x and wait a couple of seconds.
I've tried using Windows Scripting to remove, then remap the drive link
if the mapping is not active, and that also throws errors. It seems that
the only method that works every time without throwing an error dialog
box is to open WinExplorer, and click on the drive letter with the
little red x.
If anyone has any suggestions, I'd really appreciate it.
Mike

I have one Windows 7 system out of a handful of them misbehaving on my Samba
network.
3 or so times per week, the drive mappings show red x's in explorer and my open
database applications (my VFP app plus MAS90) throw errors. A few days ago I
turned
off power management on the network adapter and had hope that it fixed the
problem
but it just happened again.
Next I'm going to plug him in to a new port on the switch using different
cabling,
but is there anything else I should be looking at in Windows 7? I'm suspecting
some
setting in Windows 7 because we had an XP box at that station for years with no
issue.
