  • 1.  D3 access to Windows network drives

    Posted 05-20-2022 06:43
    Hi all

    Anyone out there been able to "connect" to Windows drives other than C: ?

    I've setup a network drive called 'S' and try as I may D3 will not "see" this.

    I've looked into the hosts file and the D3 manual (last restort) but nada.

    It works fine if you stick with C: but any other network defined drive #​.




    Anyone else had this - or have a solution?

    Regards

    Stefano

    You have to map them from within D3 and have D3 running as a user with privileges to access other servers. Here's an example from a pal's D3 user-coldstart:

    !net use h: /delete
    !net use h: \\server\folder
    !net use i: /delete
    !net use i: \\server\folder\folder\folder

    The /delete makes sure the drive letter is not already in use by D3.

    Then just use the drive letter for OSFI access:

    OPEN "DOS:I:/blah" TO FILE ELSE BLAH BLAH BLAH
