OK -- I need professional help.
I have two files used by several people in the company. One file ('user') captures information for each person's business unit, and compares it to industry standards for that type of service. It pulls the 'comparative' information from the second file. Since the formulas are complex, I've protected everything so that the users can't break it. I want the comparative info in a second file so that, as it gets updated from year to year, the users can just swap the new file in for the old one. I've written the VBA language below with the idea that, wherever the 'user' file is, it would look in the same folder for the 'comparative' file. However, that's not happening. What happens instead is that, regardless where the user puts the two files, the 'user' file looks back to the original folder on my computer. Needless to say, it ain't found. Here's what I wrote, and I'm hoping this is where the problem lies. Private Sub Workbook_Open() Dim File_Path As String Dim File_Name As String File_Path = ThisWorkbook.Path File_Name = File_Path & "\" & "Instrument Panel Reference Data.xls" Workbooks.Open Filename:=File_Name, UpdateLinks:=3 Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. Windows(ThisWorkbook.Name).Activate |
