Hey!! Why dont you try the UNC path instead of the mapped drive...If you
are
not sure check out with your network administrator...which would be same
for
all users within the network.

\\servername\volumename\share\folder\

Check if path exists and if not provide a browse option to pick the
folder..

With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
.AllowMultiSelect = False
.InitialFileName = "N:\"
.Show
strFolder = .SelectedItems(1)
End With

Below I have a sub routine that needs to be modified to enable
multiple users
with different paths to the same file location on a network drive to
save the
file using this macro. The only difference in location is the letter
of the
drive. On my computer it is identified as "N:", but on another
user's
computer it could be identified as any letter of the alphabet. Any
simple
solutions to this issue?

Sub saveNew()
yyyy = Format(Range("M1").Value, "yyyy")
mmddyyyy = Format(Range("M1").Value, "mm-dd-yyyy")
mmddyy = Range("M2").Value

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="N:\FOLDER\FOLDER 2\folder 3\" & yyyy
& "\"
& mmddyyyy & " Distribution" & "\Rates " & mmddyy & ".xls"

End Sub
