SaveFileDialog and CommonDialog1.InitialDirectory = "http://sharepoint/somefolder"
I have been trying to get the SaveFileDialog (using VB and VS 2005) to default to a specific SharePoint directory by using: Dim CommonDialog1 As New Windows.Forms.SaveFileDialog() CommonDialog1.InitialDirectory = "http://sharepoint/somefolder" CommonDialog1.ShowDialog() However, I keep getting an error saying that "You can't open this location using this program. Please try a different location." When I put theaddress in the path at the top of the dialog it seems to have no problem. Can someone please point me in the right direction on how I should be setting up this dialog? Thanks, Natalie

Hi Natalie, i have the same issue like you. Did you solve the problem? Did you write a custom OpenFileDialog? Thomas

I have the same problem. The only way around it that I have found is to use a WebDAV path instead, as in: \\server\DavWWWRoot\site
