Hey guys,

I need to programmatically copy a file to the XLSTART
folder. Also what is the default location of the folder
because I did a search on my computer and saw the
following paths...


C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application
Data\Microsoft\Excel

and

C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Application
Data\Microsoft\Excel

and

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office

I am assuming if I want to put a file in the XLSTART
folder I would use the
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office
path. Im not sure though.


The file I want to put in that folder is located in
C:\ImportData.XLS

What is the code to copy the source file(ImportData.XLS)
to the destination XLSTART folder?


Thank you

Todd Huttenstine

try:
msgbox application.StartupPath

Those settings are depending on Windows config.

Look at Tools-Options-...
Probably it is: C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office\XLStart

Try to do this:
Close Excel,
Copy excel file with some data
Open Excel
If your file is open so... You know it's good path.

Using:
FileCopy srcFile destFile
