Hi,

my path for Sharepoint opened in Windos Explorer is: \\q13-example.wmi@SSL\DavWWWRoot\TestDocument\Test01
If I click on this link, I get the Sharepoint folder in Windows Explorer with the same path. But my VBA code opens this path as https:// link.

I don't know why?

Hi Sinem,

I cant test this at the moment as i don't have access to a share point but i would guess a different path would be used.

Open the folder in windows explorer as you described and select a file within, then hold shift + rightclick and select 'copy as path'

Paste this into notepad and inspect it. It should provide the path your looking for if you strip out the filename etc..

Regards,

Hi mcwillis81, thank you for your answer. This is actually the path but it is a network path.
