    MapNetworkDrive Dies in Win 7 = Error code 75 for bad Path / File Name

    Hi!

    This code works beautifully at work on Win 10 but not so much for Win 7 machines. They die on the MapNetworkDrive statement below. Is it due to Windows Credentials not being available?

    Welcome to the board.

    Please take a few minutes to read the Forum Rules, and then edit your post to wrap your code with CODE tags.

    Thanks.

    Can you give me an example of the VBA code tags [] and where they go? Do I place [] around each line or the entire post?

    Re: MapNetworkDrive Dies in Win 7 = Error code 75 for bad Path / File Name

    Looks like I'm not alone. See "Map Network Drive/Security Requirements".

    We got us a credentials issue here. Why doesn't Win7 retain credentials whilst Win10 does. We are talking about domain servers being mapped to SharePoint using webDAV.

    I'm running Excel 2010 VBA macro in Win10 domain environment mapping logical drive to SharePoint documents. Funny thing is that Win10 MapNetworkDrive only works after forcing a IE 10 navigation to SharePoint site where documents are stored. Somehow this is loading Windows credentials allowing MapNetworkDrive to be successful. Same process doesn't work in Win7. I don't want to add any code prompting user for password for security reasons. This is corporate business and that is a compliance concern big time. So the question is what's the problem with Win7 or is it company security or GPO?

    Thanks. I think I'm not smart enough to follow all the rules!

    Questions that are cross-posted to other web forums must contain links to those posts on those forums or a comment to tell us where else the question has been asked. (A, Z*)

    Is that what you are referring to? How do you insert a link? I have this question also posted on Mr. Excel. There.

    I think you are perfectly smart enough to follow the forum rules: they were simplified last September to make them clear and easy to understand. The expectation is that you read them when you first join, as you would read the rules of any club you joined off-line, but as it seemed you hadn't, I offered you a link so that you could read them before making any further mistakes.

    The rules on cross posting are pretty much the same on all the major Excel forums.
