Connecting to remote non-database server

[Anon]

I would like to be able to run a vb program that when a button is clicked automatically connects to a server using the IP address or computer name. I cannot go through any particular drive because people have mapped this share to various drive letters. This is not a SQL or Oracle server.

Thanks

you haven't quite explained what you want to do.

if you just want to show the user the contents of a another server, you can use windows networking like so:

\server_name.yourdomain.com. or
\computer_name

and you can place the UNC paths in href tags like so:

<A HREF="\computer_name\application.exe"> Click Here!</A>

Uhm.. how about asking VB questions in a VB forum instead of a PHP forum?
