File Path
Help needed.
I created a macro that was used only by myself, however this macro now needs to be used by others. The macro opens files saved in my c:\documents and settings\max28052\ etc. The required files have been exported from the corporate database, the files are automatically named and saved to the users c:\documents and settings\"username - of the logged on user"\. I would like to know if I can change my macro to open the required file regardless of the logged on user. eg Currently my macro has the full file path c:\documents and settings\max28052\help.xls is there any way it read c:\documents and settings\"username"\help.xls so that I do not have to recreate a macro for each individual officer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

File Path
If you mean the username as in the windows log in name then yes like this: Code: -------------------- c:\documents and settings\" & Environ("username") & "\help.xls" -------------------- you can use the application username but this can be chanegd by the user at will or may not even be in place so your code would fail.
