How do I work with UNC/NFS Network Files from a Mac using VBA in Excel 2011?

[jarrah]

Hi All,

Google isn't being my friend when it somes to searching for answers to this, so I'm hoping someone on here can help me instead.

The following code in Windows Excel 2010 returns True or False, but I just can't figure out how to check for a networked file from within VBA on a Mac?

check = Len(Dir("\\servername\path1\path2.xlsx")) > 0

I ultimately would like to do the following:
- Check text file exists
- Append a new line of text
- Open text file to check value of last line

The file is based on an NFS server.

Thanks in advance!

Use colons instead of slashes as file path separators on the Mac. Excel MVP Ron DeBruin has lots of tips for working with files here.
