The workbook I am working with is not stored on my local PC's drive but is
filed on a server. When I use Workbook.Path it returns my local drive letter
(e.g. G:\temp). Of course the letter is different for different user. How
can I convert this path to a path with the server name (e.g.
\\Server01\temp).

Thanks for your help
Fred

you can use something like this

dim fpath as string
fPath = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\"

on my server for example, ifpath will return this:

N:\My Documents\Excel\
