Open Workbook using URL instead of network path
I have been using Workbooks.Open "path....." to open a workbook, but now I
need to be able to open a workbook in a portal database. Can anyone tell me how to go about doing this? The old way: Workbooks.Open "P:\MODULE\Area\REPORTS\ProductionData\PRODdata050 6.xls" New URL: "http://company/site/area/Production%20Data/PRODdata2005-2006.xls" Thanks in Advance, Raul |

Open Workbook using URL instead of network path
Tom,
This isn't working, but I'm pretty sure the reason is the virus warning/"would you like to open this file" pop up. Is there a way to get around this?

You can try the DisplayAlerts command. I don't know if it will work he
sStr = "http://company/site/area/Production%20Data/PRODdata2005-2006.xls" Application.DisplayAlerts = False workbooks.open sStr Application.DisplayAlerts = True -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Raul" wrote in message ...

Open Workbook using URL instead of network path
Tom,
Your original post resolved the problem; I failed to enter the URL correctly, which kept your methodology from working. I'll put your suggestions regarding Application.DisplayAlerts in the bank.
