VB6 and Vista

I have a very simple code in VB6 project. It opens the file on the mapped
drive:

strSourse = "S:\Coordinator"
Open strSourse & "\InitialData.txt" For Input As #intFileNumber

While on XP it works fine on Vista it produces an error 76 'Path not found'

I mapped S: drive on both machines the same way. I can explore that drive
manually and open the file with no problem.
I think there is something I'm missing with the new security on Vista. But
what?
I tried to run my app as a regular user, as admin. The same problem.

Thank you
Vovan

I've noticed that most folder browser dialogs and file open dialogs do not
include mapped drives in Vista. Weird. I haven't figured it out yet but it
is a real pain.
