Default Open file with relative reference


Hi,

Workbook A and workbook B are two excel files in the same directory,
and always will be however the location of that directory may change
(ie from 'C:\files\excel' to 'D:\programs\data'.

In workbook A, I need a macro that will open workbook B.
I have tried the workbooks.open filename('workbook B.xls'). However,
this only works if the full location of the file is listed and thus
does not work when both the files are shifted to the new directory.

Can you please help me to open a workbook with a relative reference to
the location.

Thannks, Simon
