Hello,

I'm running Microsoft Project 2003 and in my macro I'm setting the path to PERSONAL.XLSB using the following code.

Code:
Set xlBook = xlApp.Workbooks.Open("C:\Documents and Settings\Eckec\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART\PERSONAL.XLSA")

This works but if I want to distribute this to another user how would I need to alter the code so that no manual editing will be required?

Thanks,
Chris
 

Excel Facts

Wildcard in VLOOKUP
Use =VLOOKUP("Apple*" to find apple, Apple, or applesauce
Not quite sure if this will work, but try something like:
Code:
Dim strPath As String
strPath = Environ("APPDATA")  & "\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART\PERSONAL.XLSA"
Set xlbook = xlApp.Workbooks.Open(strPath)
