Hi,

I have to copy the active document in shared network drive
I am using this macro, it is giving the error access denied.
But read and write permissions are there for this folder.
Please advice

Appreciate your help

Private Function access_Network_share()
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
ServerShare = "\\USER1-PC\MetaData"
userName = txtUserName.Text
Password = txtPassword.Text
Set NetworkObject = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
NetworkObject.MapNetworkDrive "", ServerShare, False, userName, Password
save_As_word
NetworkObject.RemoveNetworkDrive ServerShare, True, False
Set NetworkObject = Nothing
Exit Function
ErrHandler:
MsgBox "Please check your credentials"
End Function



Private Function save_As_word()
On Error GoTo ErrHandler

Kill "D:\Metadata\" & (ActiveDocument.Name) & ".DOCX"
ActiveDocument.SaveAs "\\USER1-PC\MetaData\" & (ActiveDocument.Name)
Exit Function
ErrHandler:
End Function

Regards,
Rose

Have you checked where the code is generating the error? For example, I doubt this line would work:
Kill "D:\Metadata\" & (ActiveDocument.Name) & ".DOCX"
since ActiveDocument.Name will return the Active Document's name, including the extension...

Hi Paul,

Thanks, sorry
Kill "D:\Metadata\" & (ActiveDocument.Name) & ".DOCX" actually I have commented.

This issue need to fix urgently, using net use when we are copying able to copy.

Is it because I am using saveus, if i use copyfile will it be ok

ActiveDocument.SaveAs "\\USER1-PC\MetaData\" & (ActiveDocument.Name) is throwing the error as access denied.

Appreciate your help

Thanks& Regards,
Rose

From what I can see of your MapNetworkDrive method implementation, you've omitted the Drive name you want to map the server to. AFAIK, you need to map it to an available drive letter, which you then use for the Save As.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for sharing, as per the user requirement cannot map the drive due to security.
only given share drive " "\\USER1-PC\MetaData\"" authenticate and copy the file

Thanks & Regards,
Rose

If you cannot map the drive, then why are you using the MapNetworkDrive method?

Hi Paul,

For the same code today I am getting error 4198 -command failed.
please advice

Thanks & Regards,

These really aren't Word issues - they're more related to Windows and, more specifically, networking, neither of which are my particular area of expertise. That said, you're not using the MapNetworkDrive method properly (i.e. you're not specifying a drive letter to map to) and you still haven't answered my question as to you're using the MapNetworkDrive method when you say there is a "user requirement cannot map the drive due to security".

Hi Paul,

Sorry just a beginner, want to check is there any way to save the active document in shared network drive by authentication with out mapping?

Thanks & Regards,
Rose

That shouldn't be any different than saving to a local drive. If the network drive is shared, it's presumably already mapped to an alias (e.g. H: ) and you should be able to use that. Indeed, you should even be able to save direct to \\USER1-PC\Metadata.
