Default Address of workbook in a macro

I have an Excel workbook on a netwrok drive that has macros which create
record numbers and copy each record and its data to a specific worksheet in
the file. I am having problems with users copying the file or creating
shortcuts and ending up with duplicate copies of the file which pretty much
destoys the the validity of the records.

I was thinking there might be a way in the macro, rather than say
sheets("records").select I could provide the address of the correct file
like sheets(G:\\Workbook "records").select If the user were not in the
correct network drive version of the workbook, then the macro could not find
the sheet and give an error.

Is there a way to make this work, or any other ideas as to how to stop
copying of the file in any way or set up a file that can be distributed to
everyone that will only open the right file.

Any ideas would be gretly appreciate. Thank you so much!
