File Save As macro for users with different paths
Below I have a sub routine that needs to be modified to enable multiple users with different paths to the same file location on a network drive to save the file using this macro. The only difference in location is the letter of the drive. On my computer it is identified as "N:", but on another user's computer it could be identified as any letter of the alphabet. Any simple solutions to this issue? Sub saveNew() yyyy = Format(Range("M1").Value, "yyyy") mmddyyyy = Format(Range("M1").Value, "mm-dd-yyyy") mmddyy = Range("M2").Value ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="N:\FOLDER\FOLDER 2\folder 3\" & yyyy & "\" & mmddyyyy & " Distribution" & "\Rates " & mmddyy & ".xls" End Sub |

File Save As macro for users with different paths
Hey!! Why dont you try the UNC path instead of the mapped drive...If you are not sure check out with your network administrator...which would be same for all users within the network. \\servername\volumename\share\folder\ If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "Jacob Skaria" wrote: Check if path exists and if not provide a browse option to pick the folder..
