I'll let you fill in the filenames, but this will check if a file exists in

If it exists it will open it.
If not will open it from G.
There is no error checking so if you forget to plug the drive in or it has
another drive letter it won't work.

How do I add another drive to search for when loading the workbooks
listed below.

Problem is when I use these files on my pen drive at home / work and
other PCs *the pen might be recognised as a different drive letter on
each one.

I only need it look in say *"f" *and "g" and that will do the job.

Many thanks

John
