Here's a simple function to get the UNC path
Declare Function WNetGetConnectionA Lib "mpr.dll" _
(ByVal lpszLocalName As String, _
ByVal lpszRemoteName As String, _
cbRemoteName As Long) As Long
Function GetUNCPath(myDriveLetter As String) As String
Dim lReturn As Long
Dim szBuffer As String
myDriveLetter = Left(myDriveLetter, 1) & ":"
szBuffer = String$(256, vbNullChar)
lReturn = WNetGetConnectionA(myDriveLetter, szBuffer, 256)
If lReturn = 0 Then
GetUNCPath = Left$(szBuffer, InStr(szBuffer, vbNullChar))
Else
GetUNCPath = "Invalid drive"
End If
End Function

Is it possible to get the full server name in the file path as opposed to
just the drive letter that it refers to?
For example, if I use
ActiveWorkbook.FullName
I get something like this:
L:\test.xls
The full server name for the drive letter L is:
mcssrv02\finserv
I would like the file path to read:
mcssrv02\finserv\test.xls
Thanks for your help.
