I have prepared a spreadsheet that has a macro(recorded) in it that when
invoked, opens another excel file.
Here is that code:
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"C:\Documents and Settings\Ross D\My
Documents\AURORA\jimspreada1.xls"

I plan to distribute these sheets to various other employees at my agency
for their use. Both files will always be in the same directory --
however, a different directoy on each person's machine. How do I change
the above code to open that file in the current directoy, what ever that
directory might be?
