I've made a little program, with visual basic v6.0, for showing pdf files in a webbrowser container. When i use the files stored on my local compuetr everything works great but if i want to view some files from the network i'll get a error message.
examples
webbrowser.navigate "c:\temp\example.pdf" - This works perfect
webbrowser.navigate "\\Nas1\temp\example.pdf" - Gives error messsage
webbrowser.navigate "N:\temp\example.pdf" - Gives error messsage
This works fine but is not the sollution for me.
Public Sub TEST()
Dim IE As Object
Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExpl
With IE
.Navigate "\\NAS1\Example.test"
.Visible = True
End With
End Sub

Thanks Brian for your answer but it doesn't work for me. I've used "File://" and changed the Backslashes toSlashes but it still doesn't work.
