I execute .xls file by browsing to its drive/path and doubleclicking. I want my code to write files back to the same location as my .xls file.
The CurDir function will return the current path but how do I get the drive that my .xls is on.

Thanks
 

Excel Facts

Square and cube roots
The =SQRT(25) is a square root. For a cube root, use =125^(1/3). For a fourth root, use =625^(1/4).
Activate your Excel file (if not already active), then use "Path". See below:


Windows("myfilename.xls").Activate
MyPath = ActiveWorkbook.Path
