Hi, I have a file (invent) in wich a Autoopen() macro was writed, the
autoopen macro opens a file named: c:/mis documentos/registros.xls, this file
is always saved in the same folder as the invent file, ¡How to tell excells
that the file registros.xls is in the same folder than invent.xls so when I
install both files in another computer I don need to change the autoopen
macro???
TVMIA

ThisWorkbook.FullName will give the file name including the path. The
following will strip away the file name, giving only the path:
FilePath = Left(ThisWorkbook.FullName,InStrRev(ThisWorkbook.F ullName,"\"))
You can then use this in your code to open the workbook:
Workbooks.Open FilePath & "registros.xls"

There are many books available; I learned mostly by online documentation (but
I have several years experience programming in other languages)

My main sources of info we
Application help files - look for "Programming Information" in the contents
Web: there are many sites for VBA programming (Google search, or look
through these newsgroups for referenced sites)
Finally, MSDN knowledge base and library were helpful.

Just some added information.

ThisWorkbook.Path

gives just the path.

workbooks.Open thisworkbook.Path & "\registros.xls"
