 Problem: VBS Mapping a Drive in XP Pro

Whenever I try and execute the script below, I get the following error:

Error: The local device name has a remembered connection to another network
resource.
Code: 800704B2
Source: WSHNetwork.MapNetworkDrive

The Script:
---------------------
Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")

WshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive
"X:","\\alphac.csd.uwm.edu\cghota",True,"cghota","password"
---------------------

I'm trying to map to a DEC Alpha running Samba 2.2.8a.

Any help is highly appreciated!!!

The error message is very self-explanatory, it's saying the letter X: is
already in use.  If you already have X: mapped, you need to unmap it first.
You can do this using:

WshNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive "X:", False, True

Read the syntax first:

I agree with Marty's solution but add that a further thing that may be done
is to check for the existence of a drive x: before acting.  Otherwise the
script may generate errors when it attempts to delete a non-existant drive
unless you use the on error resume next statement.
