With errorlevels can you determine that a prompt for a username/password is incorrect at that time? The mapped drive is in a remote network, and the prompt is via the script for username and password. at present you can type in rubbish and the drive is still there called "Network Drive", but obviously cannot connect. I would have thought that when you click on the drive it would prompt you, but it didn't.

Hmmm. Not sure.
The following construct should work, just fill in the correct details. I'm assuming you get an "access denied" (error 5) due to incorrect credentials, but I can't test here so you may need to change it.
code:
$iAccessDenied=5 ; Change to correct error message. $iConnectAttempts=3 ; Number of times to attempt connection $sSharePath="\\server\shares" ; Path to share $sDriveToMap="X:"
Use $sDriveToMap /delete /persistent Use $sDriveToMap $sSharePath While @ERROR=$iAccessDenied AND $iConnectAttempts $iConnectAttempts=$iConnectAttempts-1 "Enter login: " Gets $sLogin "Enter Password: " Color "n/n" Gets $sPassword Color "w/n" If Not $sLogin $sLogin=@USERID EndIF Use $sDriveToMap $sSharePath /USER:$sLogin /PASSWORD:$sPassword Loop
If @ERROR "FATAL: Could not map "+$sSharePath+", last error="+@SERROR ? EndIf
This scriptlet attempts to map the drive with current credentials, and if it fails due to access denied it will then prompt 2 or three times for login and password then use those. If it fails all attempts or if the connection fails for another reason it displays the last error.
I was just working with mapping drive, though I have nothing useful to add to this post. I was just wondering what the /persistent meant. Currently I am not using that argument.
Persistent means that the share is being mapped persistently, e.g. the drive mapping will be reestablished during a login process without explicitly mapping the drive again.
