Reading information from remote PC on the network

Hi everybody!
Is any way to read an information from the Share from the remote computer on the network programmatically if you do not know the MAP letter on the remote PC, but you know the network computer name and Share name ?

Yes, use \\ComputerName\ShareName\Filename, for example:

Code:

Open "\\ComputerName\ShareName\Filename.txt" For Input As #1
Or
Open "\\IPAddress\ShareName\Filename.txt" For Input As #1

And that is all there is to it!
