    Question VBA: Saving To A Network Shared Folder

    Using VBA, how do I allow users to save files to a specific network shared location? Not all users are mapped the same, so the path is not consistant. The network location has a share name (cdsBulletins)

    If your source workbook is already saved to that location, you can use:

    to get the location.
    Is your code running too slowly?
    Does your workbook or database have a bunch of duplicate pieces of data?
    Have a look at this article to learn the best ways to set up your projects.
    It will save both time and effort in the long run!

    Dave,
    The workbooks would be saved by users to the shared folder location, but are not already there.

    use a path such as
    \\servername\share$\folder\filename.xls

    and the file will saved to the server, without regard to which letter the drive is mapped, or not mapped
