If you can get the ownership through any tool then you should be able to get
the ownship through VBA since VBA can call any application. The only way I
know of to get a file permission on a server is to be able to map a drive to
the server or login into the server. If you don't have permission to do
either of these operations then you won't be able to get the ownship through
VBA.

I you tell me how you get the ownship of the file without using VBA then I
can write code in VBA to do the same operation. VBA can call any DLL and
network login and transversing the file system to get the owner is possible
through a Win32 Dll.

Is it possible to use VBA to determine the owner of a file saved on a network

created on the server. The file itself is not an MS office file however, I'm
just trying to get the name of the owner as part of my macro in Excel.
