Need help! how to open a shared folder thru web browser

Hi to all LV'ers,
as the subject implies, i am trying to find a way to view the shared folder w/in the company network thru web browser. is this possible? is there a much easy way?? i never been used FTP vi's before or any other vi's to deal with this situation but i successfully used web publishing tool to make an access of LV front panel remotely using "web publishing tool". btw, im using LV 8.5.1.
my purpose for this is to let our boss to have a quick access of the data from excel files (w/ "s" because many excel file report is generated everyday for data updates) resided in remote computer (this computer runs the LV program and we can view its front panel remotely thru web publishing tool but i also need to view the folder of this computer that contains files). that is why im finding a way to have an access not only a specific excel file but a specific folder. ofcourse, we can access the shared folder thru "my network places>>entire network>>microsoft windows network" if the folder is shared but our boss is far more convenient if we LV programmers can create a button to automatically lead them to the folder containing files they needed.
I hope anyone already done dealing with this can shared their solutions.
deeply appreciate your help!!
regards,
ivel

i think what i told in my 1st msg makes things more complicated than what i really need, sorry for that.. but for sure, i need this to be done in LV because the data from excel files was generated by LV program and this LV program is displayed in our web (thru web publishing tool), see picture below.
what i want to do is to add a button here in front panel that when pushed, will show the folder consisting of several excel files. with this, i can choose what particular excel file to be opened. sorry guys i make you confused in my situation. here i attached i simple VI to let me open the excel file but unfortunately when i select the desired excel file, the dialog says "path not found". when i browse and open the excel file manually using "entire network>>microsoft windows network>>remote computer name>> shared folder>>excelfile", i can successfully opened it.
i dont know why i cannot make a valid path using my attached vi. maybe there's something wrong with my program,please let me know. the attached vi is LV 8.5.1. i will used this vi as a subvi later in the front panel shown above.
thanks in advanced for help..!

  • I am using adobe photoshope cc trail but i cannot open full 3d menu i need help how to open 3d menu..

    i have adobe Photoshop cc trail i need the 3d option for my work but i cant open it i dont know why but i cant use 3d option..

    You can find the Crash log in the Windows Event Viewer.
    What you want to do is to get into the Windows Event Viewer.  On a modern system you can hit Start then type event log into the search box, then when View event logs comes up, click it.
    A Photoshop crash will be in the Windows Logs - Application section as an Application Error.
    You'll want to copy the textual description, which should include the Faulting module, and paste it here.  Usually the Faulting module tells us what part of your system is failing.

  • Need Help: how to create url address in dynamic web (PHP)?

    Guys,
    I need your help! I'm a newbie in web designing, I just want to ask on how to create a web (dynamic page) link/url.
    e.g. http://www.mypage.com/?=home
    thanks a lot.

    Setup a database table and populate the fields (i.e. auto-numerical_primary_key, id, dynamic_mod_url, title, article_content, etc.) then on your page create a filtered recordset where URL parameter (id) = your database table field (primary_key). Place the bindings of the filtered recordset on the page to show dynamic values for the filtered recordset based on the URL parameter. That way when someone visits yoursite.com/page.php?id=1 it will show the content for the database table where the primary key = 1 and so on. use dynamic_mod_url in conjunction with .htaccess dynamic mod rewrite to change yoursite.com/page.php?id=1 into yoursite.com/the_name_of_dynamic_mod_url_for_primary_key_1.html

  • Hi, I have this green mark (with pointing arrow looks like a link) on some words show on my window screen when I open a web page, I wonder if it is a virus link or such. Need help how to get rid of it. Thanks

    Hi, I have this green mark (with pointing arrow looks like a link) on some words show on my window screen when I open a web page, I wonder if it is a virus link or such. Need help how to get rid of it. Here's the example:
    WING
    GAMES
    MAJORITY
    Thanks

    If the third link you posted (the link containing the word "majority") does not look like the following then you inadvertently installed adware.
    That particular page should resemble the following:
    The word "majority" in the third paragraph should not be a link and should not have the green icon associated with it.
    To learn how this may have occurred, and how to prevent it from occurring in the future, read How to install adware
    Most so-called "news" websites are nothing more than entertainment outlets that cater to prurient interests, and contain advertisements that leave the user about three clicks away from installing junk. If you decide to frequent those websites, Safari's "Reader" feature helps minimize that exposure.

  • How to open a "published folder"?

    I've just upgraded to 08, I've created a site for work so am not using my .mac account. I published to a folder on my desktop,no problem, uploaded to the web no problem. It all works, EXCEPT. when I restarted iweb it asked me for a domain name as as none was associated or something. So I pointed it towards where it was orginally on idisk. NOW when i open iweb, my site is no longer complete, all the photo's are missing from the albums.
    So, figuring i've done something wrong, is it possible to open my published folder in iweb?
    And separately, can someone point me towards a tutorial on "Domains" I need to have a number and don't know how to manage them (or really what the difference between a "site" and a "domain")

    iWeb stores the data in a Domain.sites2 file whose default location is shown here....

    Hi,
    a Windows Domain Controller does not have any local user or groups. So you might add the user to the admin group at Domain level.
