Comment on Accessing WebDAV in Microsoft Word Visual Basic by Jeffrey Ridout

I started looking into the issue, but since I’m running Windows 7 (x64) I keep getting:
-2147217895: Object or data matching the name, range, or selection criteria was not found within the scope of this operation.
This might be caused by new security restrictions, but I’m not sure. If I find a solution I’ll post it here.

@steve I tried both approaches for renaming a directory (e.g. both using davFile.MoveRecord and davFiles.Update "RESOURCE_PARSENAME" "NewName") Both approaches generated unsupported errors. Any suggestions?

Thanks for this excellent guide! It has helped me tremendously integrating some VBA code with our Wiki (Confluence). How could the above code be modified to rename an existing WebDAV directory?

Would you recommend updating RESOURCE_PARSENAME and davFiles to perform an ADODB.Recordset update, or davFile and perform an ADODB.Record MoveRecord?

And for deleting a file/directory, would you simply find the davFile and use the ADODB.Record DeleteRecord function or would you use the davFiles ADODB.RecordSet Delete function?

I assume that taking the RecordSet approach in either of the above would require closing the davFile first. Using davFile will require closing davFile after the move, but what about after a delete? Does anything need to be done after calling davFile.DeleteRecord other than setting davFile = Nothing (although I notice you never set dirFile = Nothing like you do davFiles and davDir) — is there still something to close after deleting the Record?

@Casey Stark I've been a bit preoccupied lately &em; I'll write a post about what's going on this week &em; so I haven't started on the MathJax plug-in yet. I have started on the basics for the HighCharts plug-in. While planning for several WordPress plug-ins, I've decided to focus on finding a good plug-in framework first. I'm currently reviewing the inner workings of Xavisys and wp-ci and I'm keeping an eye out at Yoast, Joost de Valk has been said to be working on a WP plug-in framework too. So feel free to start working on a MathJax plug-in and I'll help where I can.

Hi Jeffrey.

You mentioned that you might be writing a WP plugin for MathJax. Can you tell me more about it? I was thinking about doing it myself, but if you have something started, I would love to contribute as well.

@NMTT Yes, listing 1 shows that the open function takes a username and password parameter.

Hi. Great Help!

But if my Web Dav server requires basic authentication, how can I directly open a document without opening the windows authentication dialog?

Is there some Open Command with username and pass parameters?

@Chad I’ve corrected a few typos and added an example document. I hope that helps. As an added bonus, I’ve added a URLDecode function that will translate the title from URL. No more %20. (Supports åäâöéèêëóòô…)
