File Access

[Rema]

Hi all,

We do have a folder having user access restriction. Whether it is possible to read text file from the folder having access restriction through vba code.

Thank you in advance

Set sBook = Workbooks.Open (Foldername) (fName, , , , "xxxx") this might help you

or you may ask user to select particular file from network

you may try something like this
OpenMyFile = Application. GetOpenFilename (http://www.ozgrid.com/forum/autolink.php?id=52&script=showthread&forumid=8)(FileFilter:="Excel Files (*.xls), *.xls", Title:="** File Name here **")

Thank you for your reply.

I want to read data from text file in a folder which is permission denied.is there any way to access file having user access restriction

Surely, if permission is denied it is precisely intended to STOP YOU getting access. Speak to the folder owner and convince them that you need permission.
