Default Make Macro Work On A Different PC

Hello, I've got this macro:

Copy and paste values into text file

Const OUTPUTFILENAME = "C:\Users\user\Documents\JobsTaxQualificationsBusi ness\CP+\CPPOffendersText.txt"
Dim cell As Range, ro As Range, outP As String
fnum = FreeFile
Open OUTPUTFILENAME For Output As fnum
For Each ro In Range("A1:J" & Cells.End(xlDown).Row).Rows
outP = ""
allBlank = True
For Each cell In ro.Cells
If cell.Column < 1 Then outP = outP & vbTab
outP = outP & cell.Value
If Len(Trim$(cell.Value)) Then allBlank = False
Next
If allBlank Then Exit For
Print #fnum, outP
Next
Close fnum

which, as it says, c & p values into a text file.

I want to run it on a different PC where the filepath C:\Users\user\Documents\JobsTaxQualificationsBusin ess\CP+
doesn't exist.

What's the best way of getting this to work on any PC? Change the filepath? Change the macro so that it will work anywhere?



If you don't have to use that exact file path, you can use the current file path of the workbook, and the macro will work wherever it is.


OUTPUTFILENAME=Thisworkbook.path & "\CPPOffendersText.txt"

I don't know if this will help. I use macros that write to notepad files, and this is how I use it on other computers.
