MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / September 2006Internet/intranet approach
Hello, I'm trying to approach an intranet directory in order to determine which files are in it. For this purpose I've already tryed the 'Searchfiles.lookin' and Dir() functions but both don't accept the "http://-directory-" - format. Seacrhfiles doesn't accept anything BTW. Only his own format and an empty string.... Can anybody help me out here? Bye, Bart Bart, > Hello, > > I'm trying to approach an intranet directory in order to determine which > files are in it.

Microsoft Word is not a World Wide Web browser which uses the http:// prefix as far as I know. Are you trying to search for *.htm or *.html files? For something on your computer use file:// prefix or standard C: drive, etc. prefix A local area network LAN might use something like \\domain name\user name\C: drive > Seacrhfiles doesn't accept anything BTW.

My employer works with Sharepoint, this is an internet based program. It can be used as a kind of work-area for taskgroups etc.. It is also a sort of database. And this is my 'problem'; this database has to be checked once in a while. Through the name of the document I can see if the document has to be checked or not. The solution I've thought about was to not check Sharepoint, but the archive. The disadvantage of this is that it isn't guaranteed synchronic, if you know what I mean.

See for reference: http://www.developer.com/tech/article.php/3104621 http://weblogs.asp.net/jan/archive/2004/02/04/67218.aspx microsoft.com/sharepoint Your VBA project can reference the Microsoft WinHttp services library, which is a pretty simple provider of http services. For talking to sharepoint via web services however, VBA is not the best environment for playing. You'll have much more fun with .NET, upon which SharePoint and its components are built. For checking the SharePoint database (SQL Server) you can do this directly via OLEDB if you know the database and have some connection info, and if you know where to look. I don't :) Ben > I was afraid for that. > If I have it clear; VBA is not able to approach an inter/intranet adres at [quoted text clipped - 57 lines] >>>>> >>>>> Bart Thank you! Unfortunately I only have VBA and I'm sure that I don't get VB.Net on my system. This, as a result of a bureaucratic management, which I have accepted in the last couple of years... However, thanks again. I have, as I've wrote in my last message, an solution; The user have to select all the files via the 'open dialog box'. This is how I can read the filenames in Sharepoint. I know it isn't a decent solution, but I have reased my goal, knowing there isn't an other option.
