Default VB Code for a directory

Marie,
This should not affect you since you're opening an existing file. But when
you start a NEW file (File | New) it has no path, since it hasn't been saved
to disk yet. Saving such a file in code results in a save to the current
directory (usually your My Documents folder).

Just thought I'd mention that.

Hi Marie

You need the following where you have the workbook open statement:

Workbooks.Open ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & YourWorkbookName

Then this will always open the file named "YourWorkbookName" in the
same directory as the workbook that holds the macro code.

Hope this helps!

Richard

Hi
Is there any code I can put into my macro (which opens a file) that will
always look for the file in the 'current' directory, ie, the directory that
the original file was opened in, so that if I move the directory it will
always find it?
Thanks in advance
