Default Problem opening file from a server

Hi all, we have various servers and everybody has them mapped to a
different letter, so i need to go to the server name so that no matter
who the user is, the path can be found. I however cannot get this to
work, i have tried \\zapd01\lcs\test.xls but it givs me an error ??

Hi Les,
This worked for me:

"\\servername\share\test.xls"

Are you wrapping the path in double quotes so it passes as a string?

HTH
Regards,
Garry
