Default Fixed file location for lookup formula

Yes, the formula in my destination worksheet referred to a named range in the
lookup worksheet. I had not updated the lookup worksheet on the new PC with
the named range, which is why I was getting the error. As soon as I named the
range in the lookup file all worked OK.

Basic different file version error. :-(

Oh, yes, that is different! Did you resolve the issue?

Thanks Ryan,

My problem was a different one. The reference file that I had already copied
to C:\Masters was lacking a named range and this was causing a
non-rectangular name definition problem.

My user name is not Numpty for nothing!

I encountered a VERY similar issue just yesterday. See this site:
http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0003.htm

Run the cose from a module and look at the results in the 'Immediate
Window'. If you don't have the Immediate Window open, click View Immediate
Window in the Visual Basic Editor. Look at the results. Find your drive.
That is called the UNC Path. See this:

I have designed a template with lookup formulas referring to other files. I
have specified the other files all be in a folder directly on the C: drive,
C:\Masters.

When I distribute the file to another PC the file location changes. Is there
any way for it to stay exactly as input, whereverthe final file is saved as a
file or template?
