For a Microsoft PowerPoint 2002 version of this article, see 291887.



SYMPTOMS
When you schedule your presentation to be broadcast and you try to type a valid Internet address, you may receive one of the following error messages where  is a valid Web address in the form of 'http:// ':

' ' is not a shared directory. A shared directory should be in the form of '\\ '

You cannot use an internet address here. Enter a path that points to a location on your computer or on the network.



CAUSE
This problem may occur if Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003 only accepts UNC (Universal Naming Convention) addresses for the Online Broadcasting shared folder.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, save your broadcast files to the UNC path of your server, and then change the invitation e-mail to have the correct URL address for the Web site on that server.

How to Change an Address in Microsoft Outlook

 * 1) Type the UNC address to the server in the Server Options dialog box.
 * 2) Click OK.
 * 3) Click the Schedule Broadcast button.
 * 4) When the schedule request e-mail appears, you can edit the URL text from 'file:///\\ ' to 'http:// ' where the Web address in part corresponds to the UNC location.
