We have a remote office with it's own server.

I wish to contact that server to obtain information.

How can this be done with visual basic?

I would appreciate your assistance.

Control Word Wrap
Press Alt+Enter to move to a new row in a cell. Lets you control where the words wrap.
I possibly did not explain clearly, so I will try again.

I am looking for code to map a network drive.

I have tried the following but receive error "Object Required".

Dim WshNetwork
Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
WshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "L:", "\\mydrive\share"

and

Set ws = Server.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
ws.MapNetworkDrive "L:", "\\mydrive\share"

I would appreciate some assistance.
