Default macro won't run from network

Hi

I have a macro in a spreadsheet that works fine if the file is saved locally. If I move it to a networj drive it fails.

Are there any known issues with doing this?

TIA

I don't know of any issues with this.

I save lots of workbooks with macros to network drives and the macros work fine
(or as well as I wrote them!).

You are enabling macros when you open the workbook?

(I'm assuming yes to that.)

How do you invoke the macros--buttons on toolbars, commandbuttons placed on the
worksheet from the control toolbox toolbar, buttons from the Forms toolbar
placed on a worksheet, tools|macro|macros and selecting?

And what does fail really mean? (That should have been my first question!)

Try saving the file to a different directory on your local drive, or a
different drive on your local machine.........and if the macros still fail,
then chances are that they are written so as to be specific to the original
path or filename........
