Default ChDrive error (server path)

ThisWorkbook.Path returns a URL type path ("\\s2\documents\...).

Thank you to everybody for your help. I copied the relevant folder onto my
hard disk as a temporary fix for today, but will try Ron's and Dave's
suggestions going forward.

ChDrive doesn't work with a URL type path. It only works with Lettered
drives.

So I guess it would depend on what thisWorkbook.Path returns.

Thanks Ron. I'm looking at that site right now. Any idea why this code
works for a folder on my machine, but not for one on a network?

myPath = ThisWorkbook.Path
ChDrive myPath '.......... <--- generates error
ChDir myPath

"ThisWorkbook" is in the correct folder on the network. I would think

that
"ThisWorkbook.Path" would give me the correct string to pass to ChDrive.

Hi Marcotte

See

Every second macro of each example will also work for a network path
