Hi!

This code works beautifully at work on Win 10 but not so much for Win 7 machines. They die on the MapNetworkDrive statement below. Is it due to Windows Credentials not being available?

MapNetworkDrive 'Map SharePoint Online ATHLETICS Approved Documents as Network drive P:


Here is an excerpt:
--------------------------------------------
Option Explicit

Public objFS As Object
Public objNet As Object
Public objFile As Object
Public objFolder As Object

Public WSD As Worksheet

Public strToFolder As String
Public strDirectory As String
Public strToFileName As String
Public strArtifactName As String
Public strFromFileName As String
Public strNTSUFolder As String
Public strSPOLnetworkDrive As String
Public strSharepointAddress As String
Public strSharepointPath As String

Public intI As Integer
Public intFinalRow As Integer

Public strUser$, strPassword$, strNetworkDrive$


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sub CopyFilesTo1stFolder()

strSharepointPath = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
strNTSUFolder = Application.InputBox("Enter ATHL NTSU ID to build the folder")

If strNTSUFolder = "False" Then 'Get the starting folder
MsgBox "Nothing entered.....Good bye"
Exit Sub
End If

strNTSUFolder = Trim(strNTSUFolder) 'Remove trailing spaces'
strToFolder = "M:\NTSU Systems\ NTSU Folders\ATHL NTSU" & strNTSUFolder

strNetworkDrive = "P:"
MapNetworkDrive 'Map SharePoint Online ATHLETICS Approved Documents as Network drive P:

If Len(Dir("" & strToFolder & "", vbDirectory)) = 0 Then
MkDir strToFolder
Else
MsgBox "This folder already exists " & strToFolder
Exit Sub
End If

Set WSD = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Listing")
intFinalRow = WSD.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row

MsgBox "COMPLETE - Folder " & strNTSUFolder & " created in M:\NTSU Systems\ NTSU Folders\ATHL NTSU"

End Sub
 

Excel Facts

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
I left out the main Sub!
