Excel VBA, VBS and Network Security Issues
 

Hello,,
I have been working with a locked down version of IE which does not
allow any cmd style inputs in the address bar eg.

//serverm01/directory1/shared$/other/next/main.xls
cmd
C:

giving a "access to the resource <name has been disallowed" message.

However, using something like

****
On Error Resume Next
dim ie,doc

set ie = createobject("internetexplorer.application")
ie.navigate "//serverm01/directory1/shared$/other/next/main.xls"
ie.visible = true

set doc = ie.document
****

The page will open with no error. Does anyone know if this is a glitch
with the security settings or normal behaviour?
