ChDrive and ChPath to a network drive
 

Using 2003, although this workbook might also be used in 2007.

I adapted the code below to help me autoload sheets from other source
workbooks so that I can get all my raw data in one workbook without having to
manually copy/paste sheets.

In my initial testing of the following code, I used a local drive/path
(different folders on my desktop) and everything worked as expected.

However, now that I'm testing against the real path (LAN location), I'm
getting an error on ChDrive. I'm thinking that maybe ChDrive only works on
mapped drive letters? Since this workbook needs to work for multiple users
who will have the network drive mapped to different drive letters, I need to
use the raw path. Any suggestions?

Sub TestTheRawDataFunction
'sub works with a local drive path, but not with this network path
zz = PullAllRawData(Sheet1, Sheet15, _
"\\wabr833\Pemgt\Scorecard\Operations\RawData1 ", , _
"Select the current scorecard source file")
End Sub

Function PullAllRawData(SourceSheet As Worksheet, _
DestSheet As Worksheet, _
Optional PathOnly As String, _
Optional MyFullFilePath As String, _
Optional TitleString As String)

Dim SaveDriveDir As String

'save default path
SaveDriveDir = CurDir

If Len(TitleString) = 0 Then TitleString = "Please select the appropriate
file"

If Len(MyFullFilePath) 0 Then
'do nothing
ElseIf Len(PathOnly) 0 Then
'change to new path
ChDrive PathOnly '<< errors here, "invalid procedure call or argument"
ChDir PathOnly
'get the file
NewFN = Application.GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:="Excel Files (*.xls*),
*.xls;*.xlsx;*.xlsm;*.csv", Title:=TitleString)
If NewFN = False Then
' They pressed Cancel
MsgBox "Stopping because you did not select a file"
'return to original default path
ChDrive SaveDriveDir
ChDir SaveDriveDir
Exit Function
Else
MyFullFilePath = NewFN
End If

'change back to default path

Yep. ChDrive and ChDir are limited to those mapped drives.

But Windows supplies an API that'll work for UNC paths as well as mapped
drives. So you could use something like this instead:

(Saved from an old post)

Option Explicit
Private Declare Function SetCurrentDirectoryA Lib _
"kernel32" (ByVal lpPathName As String) As Long
Sub ChDirNet(szPath As String)
Dim lReturn As Long
lReturn = SetCurrentDirectoryA(szPath)
If lReturn = 0 Then Err.Raise vbObjectError + 1, "Error setting path."
End Sub
Sub Loader1()

Dim myFileName As Variant
Dim myCurFolder As String
Dim myNewFolder As String

myCurFolder = CurDir
myNewFolder = "\\share\folder1\folder2"

On Error Resume Next
ChDirNet myNewFolder
If Err.Number < 0 Then
'what should happen
MsgBox "Please change to your own folder"
Err.Clear
End If
On Error GoTo 0

myFileName = Application.GetOpenFilename(filefilter:="CSV Files, *.CSV", _
Title:="Pick a File")

ChDirNet myCurFolder

If myFileName = False Then
MsgBox "Ok, try later" 'user hit cancel
Exit Sub
End If

'do a bunch of work

End Sub

ChDrive and ChPath to a network drive
 

I got it-

Private Declare Function SetCurrentDirectoryA _
Lib "kernel32" (ByVal lpPathName As String) As Long

and

SetCurrentDirectoryA(sDirDefault)

Hi Dave,

I am having trouble with replacing the ChDrive function with the windows API. Would you be able to help me here? The Excel needs to be saved on a network drive which is not mapped on all computers.
I tried entering the code you have supplied but it will not work.

Thanks for your help!

Try including the UNC path in the initialfilename parm. I can't tell if it's
part of that value in that D143 cell.

(Untested.)
