\\databaseserver\databasepath\databasename.mdb

I have a server that contains a database and a workbook.
The workbook code uses ADO to connect to the database, run
a query and return the results to the worksheet.

'Where cn is my ADODB.Connection
"cn.Open "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver
(*.mdb)};Dbq=C:\DatabasePath\DatabaseName.mdb;"

This works fine.

On another computer, I have a folder that is shared to
that folder on the server. I want to open the same
workbook from this shared folder and run the code. I'd
need to modify the statement to something like this:

'Where cn is my ADODB.Connection and V is the mapped drive
letter to DatabasePath.
"cn.Open "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver
(*.mdb)};Dbq=V:\DatabaseName.mdb;"

The problem is I'd like to have my code detect the path to
the database (depending from where I'm opening the
workbook) and set up the string accordingly.

Any suggestions?
