ChDrive directoryname
ChDir directoryname

would be my guess

Below is a subset of some code that I have for a macro that opens and
prints
files in a specific directory on a users C:\drive. The macro first counts
the files then opens them and prints the applicable pages. Everything
work
fine unless a user has Tools-Option-General-Default File Location set to
anything other than the C:\drive (If it is set to the C:\drive, the
directory
within the C:\drive doesn't seem to matter). If I set a watch on
directoryname it shows "C:\ProPupload\Do", but exits the count routine
after
the first pass if there are no files in the non C:\drive default file
location, or the code bombs if there are files in the non C:\drive default
file location.

Is there something else I need to add to make sure that the pointer gets
re
directed to C:\? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Sub aaaOpenandPrint()
Dim result As Integer
Dim noOfFiles As Integer
Dim arrayFiles() As String
Dim name_text As String
Dim count As Integer
Dim f As String
'define the location of the boe Do files
directoryname = "C:\ProPupload\Do\"
'get a list of the files to process in the DO folder
ChDir directoryname
count = 0
f = Dir$("*")
Do While Len(f) 0
count = count + 1
ReDim Preserve arrayFiles(1 To count)
arrayFiles(count) = f
f = Dir$()
Loop
noOfFiles = count
'---------------------------------------------------------------------
'open one file at a time and format the report
'
count = 1
Do While count < noOfFiles + 1
Workbooks.Open Filename:=arrayFiles(count)
printfilename = arrayFiles(count)
count = count + 1
'Start printing
Windows(printfilename).Activate
