Linda, Depends on what you're trying to map to really. A mapped drive is basically one which is connected at startup/logon but one that is usually on another computer or somewhere else on a network. Mapping provides a permanent link to that resource even though it is not necessarily on the same machine. Example: You have a C: drive and wish to use someone elses C: drive on another machine, you can "map" to that drive using Explorer providing you have a network connection to it and it's host machine. Hope this explains things, please mail me if you need more info. Mark
