Use "net use" to identify network drives

Note: a better option is to use the Stata command "wfenv" (see here)

Why? Because shell commands won't run from Stata if the current working directory is a network drive!

* at the top of the master.do

cd c:\ // make sure on a local drive before running shell commands

!net use o: /delete

!net use o: "\\Research-srv01\Research-Shared\rscommon\ABCdata\Work"

global datafolder       "o:\MADRC\POSTED\DATA\SOURCE"

global derivedfolder    "o:\MADRC\POSTED\DATA\DERIVED"

global workfolder       "o:\MADRC\WORK"

global wf               "o:\MADRC\POSTED\ANALYSIS\outcomes"

* at the end of the master release the link to o:

!net use o: /delete
