opening other workbooks at the same time
How do I add another drive to search for when loading the workbooks
listed below. Problem is when I use these files on my pen drive at home / work and other PCs the pen might be recognised as a different drive letter on each one. I only need it look in say "f" and "g" and that will do the job. Many thanks John EXAMPLE Workbooks.Open ("f:\Direct Payments DOT\1 payments cheryl.xls") Workbooks.Open ("f:\Direct Payments DOT\1 payments Sandra.xls") ' Change as required Workbooks.Open ("f:\Direct Payments DOT\1 payments Liv.xls") Workbooks.Open ("f:\Direct Payments DOT\1 payments Sally.xls") Workbooks.Open ("f:\Direct Payments DOT\0.5 yearly payment planner.xls") |

I'll let you fill in the filenames, but this will check if a file exists in
F drive. If it exists it will open it. If not will open it from G. There is no error checking so if you forget to plug the drive in or it has another drive letter it won't work. Sub test() If Len(Dir("f:\test.xlsx")) 0 Then Workbooks.Open ("f:\test.xls") Else Workbooks.Open ("g:\test.xls") End If End Sub Regards Steve "Johnnyboy5" wrote in message ...

You only need to check if one of the files is on the F drive and it will
open them all. Otherwise it will open them all from the G drive.
