I am running the latest version of Excel for Mac and trying to get a macro to open a file called Report in Dropbox.

When I run the macro it errors saying it can't find the file. This is the pathname I'm using:

Set wbTarget = Workbooks.Open("Macintosh HD:Users:Steve:Dropbox:BA:Report.xlsm")

Anyone know how I should correctly write the file pathname for Mac?
 

Excel Facts

Add Bullets to Range
Select range. Press Ctrl+1. On Number tab, choose Custom. Type Alt+7 then space then @ sign (using 7 on numeric keypad)
On a Mac, shouldn't you be using slashs ( / ) instead colons ( : ), am I right ?
