IN VBA I use the following command to navigate to a network drive and open a specific file.

Code:
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
        "\\ Network\Address\Folder\Filename.xlsm", Password:="ABC"
In Cell K3 of Sheet1 I have a formula that fills in the username of the person opening the spreadsheet (this is a unique value).

Is there any way to use this username to open a specific file dependent on who opens it?

IE

\\ Network\Address\Folder\(Contents of Sheet1 K3).xlsm

Hope this makes sense.

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Try

Code:
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
        "\\ Network\Address\Folder\" & Sheets("Sheet1").Range("K3").Value & ".xlsm", Password:="ABC"
