Security

Avoid using hard-coded passwords in your applications. If a password is required in a procedure, request the password from the user, store it in a variable, and then use the variable in your code. For recommended best practices on how to do this, see Security Notes for Microsoft Office Solution Developers.

Example

This example establishes a connection to a network drive (\\Project\Info) protected with the password contained in the String variable, and then assigns the network drive to the next available drive letter.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  System.Connect Path:="\\Project\Info", Password:=strPassword

This example establishes a connection to a network drive (\\Team1\Public) and assigns the network drive to the third available drive letter.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  System.Connect Path:="\\Team1\Public", Drive:=2
