[Bug 52369] "Brother's Keeper" can't access mounted file systems

OK, progress!

I checked the mounting and mapping and came to the conclusion that that's not
the culprit. When you open an explorer (from winetricks) you get a perfect
mapping (D: in my case) and can operate on all the files visible. This made me
believe it's not Wine that's the issue. You would have had many more complaints
from other users as well.

So then I moved on to BK. I checked if it uses any external controls for
network/dialog functionality and it doesn't. There are only a few external
libraries for BTrieve (the database side of the app). I went into the archives
of memory lane and dusted off my VB disks and made a q&d mock up of the screen
that John Steed made. And the default Drive control does the same: it shows my
mapped D: drive as ] and gave me an error 76 (drive not available).

To check whether it's really the control, I created an option with the default
Windows dialog to browse for the folder. This dialog shows the correct mapping
and path so the conclusion is that it's the Drive control of VB6 that doesn't
pick up the network mapping.

I'm now trying to create a function that shows the result of the default dialog
under the Drive control so John Steed only needs to update the code behind the
Drive control (if he'd be willing to address this issue). 

So stay tuned ... :-)
