Changing to different drive and directory
Hi,
I'm trying to run some code and part of that is to change to a particular drive, directory and folder. Namely: ChDir "H:\Accounting\Journals" However, I find that the excel code ignores this instruction and saves the text file (created via the code) to whatever directory I may have opened last. As I am on a network, is there something else that needs to be included in the code to force Excel to go to the correct drive, etc.? Rob |

Thanks Bob,
I'll try that when I can next week, but I hope it works (see post from Francois). Rob "Bob Phillips" wrote in message ...

Changing to different drive and directory
I haven't come across a problem, and I never use PDF, so no ideas there.

Hi Bob,
Just to let you know adding ChDrive "H" to the procedure worked for me. Thanks again, Rob "Bob Phillips" wrote in message ...
