if a person places the folder with all files on another drive there is
conflick. Lack knowledge as to how to have the C be any drive. Can it be done?
Appreciate help

There are lots of drive letters you'd have to search through (26 approximately
<bg).

I think I'd look on the preferred location (C:\folder\folder\word.doc), and if
not found, I'd ask the user.

Jim Rech has a BrowseForFolder routine at:

(look for BrowseForFolder)

John Walkenbach has one at:

If you and all your users are running xl2002+, take a look at VBA's help for:
application.filedialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
