Hi Panda,
Thanks for the response. Could you please review my steps and tell me what I am doing wrong?
1. Choose Map network drive and check both checkboxes for "Reconnect at logon" and "connect using different credentials".
2. press the browse button and choose my NAS drive.
3. I am prompted for my login/pass. I enter my NAS admin login/pass (the same one I use for Frontview) and not my Username that I have setup to access the share.
4. instead of choosing the share named "files" I browse through the c folder to the folder named "files" and press ok giving me a path of \\NAS-01-F0-3F\c\files
5. Press Finish at which point I am presented with another window asking for a network password and giving me the choices to connect as RAVEN\admin (and enter a password) or to "Use another account".
6. I choose "use another account" and enter in the username I have setup as a user on my NAS with access to the share files, named "user1" and input user1's password and check the box "Remember my credentials" and press OK.
I tried these steps and I get an error saying I am already mapping the drive as another user and cannot choose to map it as user1. I assume this is because I initially used the login/pass of my admin account during the steps above. Should I use the admin login/pass (the same one I use for Frontview) for both steps 3 and 6? If I do that will the files that I create be set to the owner "admin" or the owner "user1"?
Thanks
