RE: Accessing documents in IFS with Excel from the iSeries

OK, I got it working using the IP address (don't know why but the system
name always gives an Access Denied Error)

But this works fine and is much easier then trying to get all the PC drives
mapped the same.

Thank you all that have offered assistance on this.
