I need to create a link that runs an application from a mapped drive, but the data is stored on an NT server and is accessed via UNC. I have a manually created shortcut that works fine, but when I do the Link Create command (see below) it will not create the shortcut. I've tried using double-quotes around all, just the mapped drive section, just the UNC section and both sections individually...can't seem to make it work...

LINK CREATE,G:\Programs\InMagic\DBSearch\DBSrch32.exe \\Rcintranet\inmagicdata\Catalog.tba,c:\windows\desktop,Catalog

Hi Dave,

The Link Create has to be in this format:
LINK CREATE, <filename>, <link path>, <link name> {, <icon path> {, <start directory> {, <arguments> }}}

<arguments> is where you place all your command line arguments, parameters, etc.

So, in your case your Link Create line should look like:
LINK CREATE,G:\Programs\InMagic\DBSearch\DBSrch32.exe,C:\Windows\Desktop,Catalog,,,\\Rcintranet\inmagicdata\Catalog.tba

Hope this helps. Smile

Sylvester
