Thanks very much Greg

If you could point me in the direction of where to download the API. and some samples of VBA code that I can relate to, I'd be most grateful.

Thanks very much

I don't believe we have any samples or resources for VBA in particular unfortunately. If you can't use one of the official SDKs (or a third party library), you'll need to use the HTTPS API directly. You can find the documentation for the HTTPS endpoints here:

https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-create_shared_link_with_settings 

That includes curl examples that you can translate for whatever HTTPS client you're using.
