Test for file path, alert user and close workbook
 
Hi,

I have a workbook that is used to convert data copied from various
customer screens on our company mainframe. Problem is, people are
copying the file to their pc's and not using the most up to date
version.

Can anybody assist with some code that looks a the path of the file
being tested. If it is not the path I specify, alert the user and close
the workbook?

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide with this
problem.

Alan

Test for file path, alert user and close workbook
 
If lcase(Activeworkbook.Path) < "your path" Then
Msgbox "Please open the latest version from ..."
ActiveWorkbook.Close False
End If

Enter "your path" all lowercase (VB is case sensitive for string comparisons
by default).
