Default Network path in cell

the issue here is that its the O/S that maps the drive to the network path.
It spossible that users may not have the same mapping.

You could do this with a call to a Windows API - but its non-trivial...and
not my area of competence either. sorry

Hi all, The Macro below put path in cell A1 which is "F:\Documents

file or path is actually in "\\Home\Trader\Documents\Data
\Record.xlsx". Please can any friend can help that how can I make

Len
