Hi All

Scenario is as follows...PC is not setup to sync | or linked to OneDrive Account
Log into OneDrive Account
Open File in Excel via Desktop App
File-Copy-icon.png

VBA Code:
Sub CheckPath()
Dim Path As String
Path = ThisWorkbook.Path & "/March 2021"
' ! This returns.... https://d.docs.live.net/9c2e2efd643d32d1/Sawis Solution/March 2021
With CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    If .FolderExists(Path) = False Then
        MsgBox "THERE IS NO FOLDER TO PROCESS", vbInformation, ""
        'Exit Sub
    End If
End With
Workbooks.Open (Path & "/Orders/Test1.xls") ' This works...
End Sub
Checking if Path exists returns False...
The Path does exist as I am able to open the file called Test1.xls...

What am I missing...This is driving me crazy...Does FileSystemObject even support URL Paths?

Same posted here ...

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
onedrive never worked for any of my projects, despite them working perfectly on local PCs including LANs

Thanks for response diddi...I also tried various URL Validity Functions...All return true even if such a folder does not exist...

Does this mean that the only way for VBA to work via OneDrive Web is to actually have it linked | synced to local Drive...?

yes thats what i did. i used a third party app to perform a sync on change. but the whole thing grinds to a halt and is unusable tbh

bahaha its ****. i had one like that. they would not accept any advice and got some dude to convert everything to cloud based. and they had to pay of course... 3 months later when nothing worked they wanted me to build them a server. pffffft

syncing causes lag problems. i could not incorporate onedrive at all. it messed up everything

I can tell you that MkDir is not going to work for this. :)
