I have an excel document that opens and pastes stuff into a word document
This code works like a dream

Code:
Set wdDoc = .Documents.Open("C:\Users\Adam\Desktop\Sample_template.docx")

But i would like to be able to move the excel file and word to a dropbox folder and use on any PC

so I tried

Code:
Set wdDoc = .Documents.Open("\sample_template.docx")

Looked in C:\
Any ideas ?
 

Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
I want to move the excel sheet to dropbox and so the location is no the same on each machine but the files in that folder are.

I am still unable to do this

\dropbox\the_excelfile
\dropbox\the_wordfile

There must be a way to specify the relative location over absolute ?
