Default Workbook.Open question

I have this within my code:

Set oWB = Workbooks.Open(Cells(i, "B"), ReadOnly = True, UpdateLinks
= False)


It works fine when I have something like Y:\workbook.xls, but I'm not sure
if it will work properly when I have something like \\locfile\workbook.xls in
column B. Can someone tell me for sure?

Thanks,
Barb Reinhardt

Default Workbook.Open question

the cell contained a valid URL such as:

\\Server1\HOME\O\OgilvyTW\Docs\FIND_3_Strings.xls

and it worked fine for me.
