I built a VB application allowing personnel in our company access to
numerous Excel files on our share drive. To get a sense as to which
users were using which reports I added the following macro to this
application which logs the user name and the Excel workbook they
retrieved. This worked fine for years until we moved to Excel 2000.
Now the user gets the "Run Time Error 75 Path/File Access Error", upon
clicking 'end' they still get the report, but it is an annoyance I'd
like to correct.

I went to Microsoft's Knowledge base regarding 'Run Time Error 75',
and it said there is problem with VBA when the Name statement is
involved. However I did not understand the language of the
'work-around'.

I greatly appreciate any ideas on how I can resolve this.

Thank you....
