If you want to know the location of the workbook being opened

p1 = thisworkbook.Path

curdir is the current directory for the currently default drive. this isn't
necessarily related to the workbook.

Hi,

I'm using Excel 97 and my whish is to use CURDIR as a way of making
shure that when having 2 workbooks in a folder somewhere on a drive I
will be able to open one from the other.

The problem is that I experience different results from this function
when having opened a workbook.

P1 = CURDIR
MSGBOX P1

The short example above gives 2 different results in P1 when being used
in for example the "This Workbook" and "WorkBook_Open Sub".

1. Excel - File - Open - Choose - Open: gives always the right result
2. Excel - File - Open - Choose - Close - File - MRUlist: gives always
the right result
3. Excel - File - MRUlist: gives different result
4. Filemanager - choose file: gives same as with 3.

Looking for an explanation and a way to make 1 - 4 work safely

Rickard
