Default Excel 97 VBA - CURDIR, not reliable

I have a similar situation but with 3 files. i put up
links on the sheet1 of each file for each of the other
files. when i wanted to open either of the other files, i
just click the link and the other file opened.
on the menu barinserthyperlink. click the file button.
worked for me.

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
