You don't need to hard code the path. Use something like:

fname = "something.xls"
Workbooks.Open Filename:=ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & fname

Is the only way to open another workbook programatically from the workbook
that is currently open to use the Workbooks.Open filename:= command to supply
the path and the workbook name? Is there any way you can open another
workbook that resides in the same directory without supply the path?

Thanks much.
