Is it possible to open up an external file via a network that is password protected?

Specifically, I've mapped a Sharepoint drive on my computer so that I don't have to access via the web.

If I put xyz.doc on my sharepoint, is there any way I can develop a script that will:

1. Go to the network

2. Log-in based on the user's credentials

3. Open up xyz.doc

Thanks,

Ryan

You should be able to use the send event command to open the file.(Just need a path for the file, any valid path should work) If name/password is required your os should prompt for it.

Thanks....and to take it a step more complicated, is it possible for FM to somehow log-in automatically instead of the OS prompting for a log-in?
