Below is the first part of a macro that works 'almost' perfectly.

In my macro, I don't want to use the 'full path' to the file, because I
move the set of files to different directories at times. The macro works
well on my Macintosh without a full path.

The macro will open the "testfile.xls" when called, if the file has been
perviously opened once, via the 'File' menu in Excel. However, opening
the testfile.xls via Windows Explorer does not work for the macro. I'd
like to be able to either not have to manually open the file, or at
least be able to open the file in Windows Explorer without using the
File menu.

The file can then be closed and the macro will open the file if I
haven't quit and restarted Excel, and if the file was opened via the
File menu.

The "testfile.xls" is in the same directory as the Excel file that is
running the macro.

First part of macro here...

Sub QuoteCopy_Tester()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Workbooks.Open FileName:="testfile.xls"
Range("QuoteArea").Select

....macro continues.

Thanks for the help.

Sorry if I've talked in circles.
