I'm trying to convert current shared folder path to unc path by manipulating current path with computer name. However result in compile error: expected array on the line"elem = UBound(CurrentPathA)" in Public Function UNCpath(). Can you guys tell me what seems to be the problem causing this issue? and perhaps share better idea to get unc path?
Option Explicit
#If VBA7 Then
Private Declare PtrSafe Function fnGetComputerName Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetComputerNameW" (ByVal lpBuffer As LongPtr, ByRef nSize As Long) As Long
#Else
Private Declare Function fnGetComputerName Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetComputerNameW" (ByVal lpBuffer As Long, ByRef nSize As Long) As Long
#End If
Public Function GetComputerName() As String
Const MAX_COMPUTERNAME_LENGTH As Long = 31
Dim buf As String, buf_len As Long
buf = String$(MAX_COMPUTERNAME_LENGTH + 1, 0)
buf_len = Len(buf)
If (fnGetComputerName(StrPtr(buf), buf_len)) = 0 Then
GetComputerName = "ErrorGettingComputerName"
Else
GetComputerName = Left$(buf, buf_len)
End If
End Function
Public Function UNCpath() As String
Dim CompName As String, CurrentPath As String, CurrentPathA As String
CompName = GetComputerName()
CurrentPath = ThisWorkbook.Path
CurrentPathA = Split(CurrentPath, "\")
elem = UBound(CurrentPathA)
CurrentPath = CurrentPathA(elem)
UNCpath = "\\" & CompName & "\" & CurrentPath
End Function
Or use file system object:
Function GetUNCLateBound(strMappedDrive As String) As String
Dim objFso As Object
Set objFso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Dim strDrive As String
Dim strShare As String
'Separate the mapped letter from
'any following sub-folders
strDrive = objFso.GetDriveName(strMappedDrive)
'find the UNC share name from the mapped letter
strShare = objFso.Drives(strDrive & "\").ShareName
'The Replace function allows for sub-folders
'of the mapped drive
GetUNCLateBound = Replace(strMappedDrive, strDrive, strShare)
Set objFso = Nothing 'Destroy the object
End Function
I just found and modified this, to which the credit is due, to be late-bound:

I'm surprised that this line doesn't throw a Mismatch error:
CurrentPathA = Split(CurrentPath, "\")
The Split
function converts a string to an array. So, attempting to assign the result of Split
to a string variable should raise an error.
In any case, the Ubound
function requires an array. Thus, the error when you're doing Ubound(_string_)
instead of UBound(_array_)
.
Dim CurrentPathA As Variant
