Sharepoint document as data source
The only way I know of that works is to map a drive (e.g. using Windows
Explorer) to the Sharepoint folder, and access the source file via that share. e.g. if the file is in a folder at http://companyweb/General Documents then I can map (say) Z: to \\companyweb\General Documents (I hope those are both readable at your end) However, I do not know exactly what conditions have to exist for you to do that. I suspect it relies on the fact that Sharepoint servers are webdav-compliant and that recent versions of Windows (and/or Office) have the necessary webdav client software to make this kind of connection possible. Peter Jamieson "Tony McNair" wrote in message ... I get an error wehen I try and open a document from a sharepoint document library as a datasource When I open the the file from a network place it says file not valid (as it has been retrieved from a network place it has a http prefix) Any Suggestions thanks Tony |
