@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…)

I was interested to see how your code worked and how I might be able to leverage it for a project I’m working on. I copied Listing 3 above and dropped it into a module then created the UserForm shown. However whenever I try to run the function it gives me that nasty little Object Expected error on the dlgOpenFileDAV.ListDocuments.Clear line. Thinking perhaps that the form wasn’t loaded I added that in above to no avail. Whenever I try to launch the UserForm it gives me the same error but on the line that reads davTest.isCancelled = True. I can’t seem to locate any definition for the davTest object. What am I missing?

@Steve I had to do a bit of testing and it might seem a bit odd, but here's how to create directories: 1. Open the parent directory as done in Listing 1. 2. Grab the RecordSet for the children, as in Listing 1, line 30. Then create a new Record:

[code lang="vb"]
If (davFiles.Supports(adAddNew)) Then
    Dim newDirFields(1) As Variant
    Dim newDirValues(1) As Variant
    newDirFields(0) = "RESOURCE_PARSENAME"
    newDirValues(0) = "newdirname"
    newDirFields(1) = "RESOURCE_ISCOLLECTION"
    newDirValues(1) = True
    
    davFiles.AddNew newDirFields, newDirValues
End If
[/code]

Note that using AddNew moves the RecordSet to the end, thus EOF will be 'True'.

This is excellent. I have two questions:

1. How would one create a new directory on the WebDAV server using this interface?
2. How would one copy a file without using Documents.Open and ActiveDocument.SaveAs?

What I’m trying to do is create code that will copy a WebDAV folder and all of its files to another WebDAV folder. Using your code above, I can locate the folder and its contents, but I’m lost as to how to create a new folder and copy the contents of the newly created folder.

Thanks for this great article, combined with the related article about “Accessing WebDAV in Microsoft Word Visual Basic” this helped me a lot since there’s not a lot of good documentation about this topic.

Hi,

I have had the same error as al.

I solved it with the “–with-libgnutls-prefix”
but I also had to install pkg-config:

sudo apt-get install pkg-config

@fernando trasviña I would if OpenBravo didn't already supply that functionality. Sugar CRM also only seems to integrate into MS Outlook, so that goes against the OSS office principle.

@al Ok, seems the gnutls went wrong or ldconfig is out of sync. What does this show: % ldconfig -p | grep "libgnutls" You can also try running mod_gnutls' configure like this: % ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-apxs=/usr/bin/apxs2 --with-libgnutls-prefix=/usr But if I remember correct, it ignores the "--with-libgnutls-prefix" although it's mentioned in the "./configure --help"...

I must admit, I tried to closely follow the above steps, and the listing blocks for libgcrypt-1.4.4 and gnutls-2.8.1 did work. However in the third listing, at the following line:

~/gnutls/mod_gnutls-0.5.5% ./configure –prefix=/usr –with-apxs=/usr/bin/apxs2

produced this error
…configure: error:
libgnutls was not found. You may want to get it from…

i tried to remove the error, but it didn’t work until now
