I have an application created in Excel that at certain points opens a
database named "engl.mdb". All worked fine for years until some of us got new computers that now have VISTA as the OS. The database path is c:\engl.mdb on the XP machines, but it can't be stored directly on the root of C in Vista because Vista has some sort of security thing going on that will only allow it to be opened in a READ-ONLY format. (I have searched for days on how to change this but get nowhere.) So now we need to store the database on the Vista machines in the following path -- c:\UserName\Engl\engl.mdb -- but on the XP machines the path is c:\engl.mdb Is there code that can be substitued in the current Excel VBA code that can call (Open) the database in either Vista or XP using the different path names? |
