Hello, sorry for the late answer. You should map that network drive from windows explorer-Tools-Map Network drive.. with a letter, say Y, and "Reconnect at logon" option for easy acces. Than you can use chdrive "Y:\....." path...

hey, i didn't taught it was so complicated, and i'm too a newbie to VBA programming.
But i'll do my best. So, first of all i guess that the two PC's should "see" each others.
First of all i suppose that on the server in singapore you have a shared folder that a user on the india pc should have access. Then you can check this:
Start-Run-\\IP adress of the remote server\Shared_folder and see if you can copy any file from there.
If it's ok then you can do the mapping as i stated before...
