Problem with mapped drives from VB6

Show all headers | View raw

I have an application which needs to display a directory 
tree and an adjacent file list box.

The form contains a DirListBox and a FileListBox.

The application resides in a mapped drive on a Win2008 SBS 
machine.

When a new customer record is created the application 
checks to see if there is a directory 
(it cleans up the customer name first, removing illegal 
character)
sPath = app.path & "\AppDocs\" & <customername> 
by setting the Dir1.Path = sPath

Then it adds a further folder:
sPath = sPath & "\" & <recordID>
Dir1.Path = sPath

with an error handler:

if Err = 76 then
    MkDir sPath
    Resume
end if

This works perfectly on this machine. 
It works perfectly if run directly on the server (via a 
remote terminal window)

When run from a workstation it crashes with 
"Error 75 Path/File Access Error"

All users have full read-write privileges on the mapped 
drive.

Any clues?
