Copy files to LiveLink shortcut

Michel · Post by **Michel** » Tue Jul 19, 2011 7:07 pm

I have an official repository â€“ Livelink
( http://www.opentext.com/2/global/products/products)

I have an EXCEL or PDF file I wish to copy from PC to the LiveLink folder

I have a SHORTCUT (.LNK file) to said Livelink folder

In MAIN folder I have:

My_EXCEL.xls
Shortcut_to_Livelink.lnk

I wish to copy My_EXCEL.xls to Shortcut_to_Livelink.lnk

The copyfile command works if Iâ€™m copying to a generic folder.. but Iâ€™m having difficulties with livelink

I suspect that FTPPutFile may be an option.. but then how does one go about finding FTP of a LiveLink folder-?

Cheers & thanx

I'm not familiar with Livelink. If you look at the properties of the shortcut what is the shortcut target. Usually you can use that information directly within Macro Scheduler rather than attempting to script the use of the shortcut icon.

The properties of LiveLink Short cut is as follows:

Target Type: Livelink/Livelink/Enterprise Workspace/Support...

I'm able to copy files to standard folder.. but not to Livelink.. yet-!

LiveLink is an OpenText repository.
The reason LiveLink is used it is because it have version controlled and thus all of our report s must go there.... No longer are we allowed to use simple shared drives ;(
