My VBA code needs to interact with files from SharePoint, and I'm having some difficulty...the connection seems to periodically disconnect, making it impossible to use the dir function.

As a workaround, I was going to use the SharePoint as a mapped drive, but using the File Dialog returns the SharePoint URL instead of the mapped drive path. Is there a way to get it to return the mapped drive path?

Thank you,
Parsnips

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.

Unfortunately, while it works sometimes, that often results in an error 52- even when I am logged into SharePoint.
