Thanks to Ken Puls for posting this firstly works great for local files.

What I would like though is when ran for it to allow access to a networked drive if possible, I am using office 2007 and the current code works perfectly, I have used something similar previously which allowed me to manually enter in a path to a network drive so I know its possible. (I cannot find the old code!)

Any help would be most appreciated, first post! Long time browser!

Thanks in advance guys



Option Compare Text
Option Explicit

Function Excludes(Ext As String) As Boolean
'Function purpose: To exclude listed file extensions from hyperlink listing

Dim X, NumPos As Long

'Enter/adjust file extensions to EXCLUDE from listing here:
X = Array("exe", "bat", "dll", "zip")

On Error Resume Next
NumPos = Application.WorksheetFunction.Match(Ext, X, 0)
If NumPos > 0 Then Excludes = True
On Error Goto 0

End Function

Apologies rookie mistake! I just need to map the drive from the browse and have it reconnect on login. Sorry to have wasted anyone's time if you already looking at this for me!

That code allows you to search any mapped network drive - is that not what you want?
