Default using environment variable in macropath

Hi Markus,
perhaps Application.DefaultFilePath
see if http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/property.htm
is of any help to you.

Hi Nick,

that donīt work. I can fill in the path as you described but if you refresh
the view or reopen the button and look at the path you see that the path is
deposited as hard coded path. Still having the inicial problem :-/

But thank you for the idea.

I cant imagine that i am the only one with that problem. How are the
otherone handling with the issue of personalized macroīs and its path?
Maybe i have to take a different way to the goal.

Thanks

Markus

Markus,
If you are trying to run a routine in ..XLStart\Personal.xls, it will be
open and the path is irrelevant. Use


Application.Run "Personal.xls!YourRoutine"


Otherwise, you cannot run code in a workbook that is not open.

Hiho,


i have a problem with a macro which is linked behind an excel

button.
I want to use the environment variable %USERPROFILE% in the macro

path
because the macro is been used from many users.


The path at this time is hard coded: C:\Dokumente und
Einstellungen\mmustermann\Eigene
Dateien\Anwendungsdaten\Microsoft\Excel\XLStart\PE RSONL.XLS


I want to modify the path to:
%USERPROFILE%\Anwendungsdaten\Microsoft\Excel\XLSt art\PERSONL.XLS


When i modify the path the result is the following: C:\Dokumente und
Einstellungen\mmustermann\Eigene


Dateien\%USERPOROFILE%\Anwendungsdaten\Microsoft\E xcel\XLStart\PERSONL.XLS



Any hints how to solve this ?


Thx


Markus
