What I've learned is that VB[A] can't work with 'mapped' drives on a
network because those are for use by the system only. What the system
does is to create a 'virtual namespace' as a 'pointer' to the actual
location on the network. In this case it's been easier to prompt the
user via the folder picker dialog when the stored path throws an error.

VBA *can* work fine with mapped drives, as long as the drive letter is
consistent.

If each user has a different drive letter mapped, then the UNC path
should be used instead.
