Saving to a netword folder without mapping drive
I am currently making a spreadsheet that will be used by people in many
departments where I work. They all have our public folder on a different drive letter. When they finish a form in the sheet it is automatically saved and emailed. Right now, however, in order for the save function to work the user must have the public folder designated to the same drive letter set in the code. I want to avoid having to disconnect drives or map drives as we have multiple public folders that we use. I would like to be able to just save to the network folder (\\server\public folder\...) without needing a drive letter. (see what I already have below) Desperately searching... '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''' Sub ResAlertForm_SaveAs() Application.ScreenUpdating = False On Error GoTo ErrRoutine Dim MyPath As String Dim MyDirName As String Dim SuggName As String Dim NewDir As String ' sets the path MyPath = "Z:\Agent Forms\Reservation Alert Forms" MyDirName = Sheets("Reservation Alert Form").Range("H8") 'name of resort ' the next intruction tries to create a new directory.
