Thanks for the suggestion. That software utillity you recommended is able to
connect to our public folders. When I try to browse to a shared documents
folder on my Sharepoint server, or any other location on my Sharepoint
server, the scroll bar starts moving wildly and then the software utility
crashes without error.
I may be able to add a Sharepoint folder to Outlook and drag and drop from
the public folders perhaps.
I'm not familiar with accessing or using COM or COM via Powershell. I have
no background in using COM.
