Default Using default file locations in VBA programming

I need to save an excel workbook in the default location for the user logged
onto the machine.

For example.
C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents
where username varies with different users and machines

I understand there are some shortcuts to these locations but cannot seem to
locate them in the documentation.
I am thinking something like this should work.

dim MydocumentsDir as string
mydocumentsDir = ?????????????

I then plan to add additional info like filename and a subdirectory to the
string.
and save my data in that folder.

Just cannot seem to find the code to replace the ??????????????
