Map a drive and get a file

I need to map to a drive and then copy a file from that drive to our server. How would I do this?

Thanks,
Stephen

From within QlikView?

Yes, the script needs to map the drive and and get the file so the script can then "process" the file.

Try using the EXECUTE function to call a .bat file that uses the "net use" command.

Yes, that is what I currently am doing. But I would like to get it all into a QV document.

I don't think there's a COPY command within QV - that's not really what it's for. Why are you not able o use a simple bat file? You may not even have to use "net use" - a simple copy coats and a UNC path should suffice.
