what about using the UNC path instead of the mapped drive letter? There may be some security issues to deal with, but it wont require the mapped drive to be "mapped" before it can use it as is teh case now.<br><br>

<div>When you map the drive tick the optiion to “Restore mapping on
logon”. That way if a user loses the mapping you can just tell them
to log out and logon again to fix it. As long as the network
connection is there when the PC starts that normally works fine. If
it doesn’t can be because a password is required to connect to the network drive
and for some reason its not being remembered behind the scenes, or the network
connection is not available at login.</div>
