Within an Access 2007 application, I'm creating a static report in .pdf format. I want to create it, then export the static report (not the data itself) to a Sharepoint Document Library. The intent is for it to be a public repository, no versioning. Each report will carry a unique name.
I'm a seasoned vba programmer, but using Sharepoint services is new to me. How do I go about doing this? Assume I can identify the file name and location after I've generated it, and I know the Sharepoint library URL, and have permissions. Where do I go from there?
Microsoft did some magic in SharePoint to make the libraries appear as Windows network shares to the clients. So, your program can just save the file to the UNC path.
So if you are logged on as a user with permissions to the library and the URL to the library is http://SHAREPOINT/Department/Files/ (for example), you can just save or copy the PDF files to \\SHAREPOINT\Department\Files\.

if there is a document with Links to other documents within the file share say is, if I have migrated a file that has all these link in it i assume once the file has been migrated to SharePoint the links will still work but what happens once that target file that's that the source document links to when that is also moved to SharePoint will the link need to be manually amended in the document?
There is no migration tool available to migrate linked files without breaking the link, you need to manually change the link after migrating all files to SharePoint.

As the name of the question states, I'm working with my company on a project in UiPath that is responsible for scraping a slurry of excel files from a SharePoint server. Unfortunately a decent portion of it is proprietary so I don't know how much of the actual code I can justifiably put here.
I have inside of UiPath (which is essentially a shell for vb.net and C# specifically tailored for automation) functionality to input a website url into the file explorer and have it navigate to the OneDrive folder for that SharePoint site.
This was working as expected until yesterday in the morning when it decided to brick itself and instead pull up the SharePoint site on the web browser.
Is there any way to ensure or otherwise understand why it won't open the folder path? I had it working before and I don't know why it doesn't work anymore.

i want to host a vb project from a sharepoint folder instead of having it locally installed.
I am still new at this, but I only need to host the files in the same folder on sharepoint right? And then whoever can just click the .exe file, correct?
Sorry if this is a dumb question!
Thanks in advance
As already mentioned in the comment SharePoint isn't meant to store or even display applications (.exe). What started as a security measure is now part of the philosophy of MS SharePoint. Here's a list of all filetypes SP13 will block by default.
Back to your question. There is a trick how you still can upload an .exe to SharePoint:
Store the application in a folder
Zip the folder
Upload the zipped folder to a document library
Display the library on the desired site
For the future..
As there is a "Silverlight Webpart" - develop silverlight application if you know from the beginning that you want to display them on SharePoint.
Another trick: Publish your application on a host server. Then use the "Site Viewer WebPart" and point it to your application
Last one, although I wouldn't suggest it.. You can develop a .wpf-application and simply upload it as the file-type isn't blocked. But to embed the resources is just a pain in the ass..
There are for sure many other ways to do this.. Those are just the most practical ones I know if you already developed the application. The best solution is of course to create your own WebPart..
I know Domino as a web server. In the data folder there´s an HTML folder which is normally the root of web content. But I want to put files and folders with all the flash stuff inside a Notes database (nsf).
I know I can do this via import through Package Explorer in the Notes Designer client. But where should I copy it into? Into webcontent folder?
I also know documents and pages can act as .html files. But there are also javascripts, .swf, .mp3 and other files.
How can I then invoke the starting point file like index.html?
I appreciate any helpful answer .. :-)

I would not recommend to put it on Domino server file system, it's very dirty way.
One document with one attachment/video. That would give you overview of all files you have in database plus possibility to add/delete them (require development skills little bit).
You can also upload your resources as Files as a design element, however that would require you design access each time you want to change them.
About invoking. Have a look here: Domino URL Commands
Also check this link: URL commands for opening attachments, image files, and OLE objects
For everything that is not plain html you can use file- resources. Linking them is as simple as write an url that looks like this:
hxxp://yourserver.com/yournsf.nsf/JSLibrary.js?OpenFileResource
You can find all possible URL- commands in your designer help or in this URL cheat sheet
I want to save file in my local system.
This purpose i need to choose directory where the file want to save.
I want the choosing folder path.
I didn't find any web controls please help me. windows from control is not working in web forms.
I have tied using FolderBrowserDialog control but it is not working in MVC
There is no such control (except using ActiveX Control or Java Applets), so don't waste your time to look for it and you can not get any folder path(on client machine) with JavaScript due to security reasons.
Why don't you just allow user to download the file and user will select the folder where he wants that file to be saved or else it will get saved in default folder of browser.
Hope it helps, thanks.
