I have a Excel file saved on my desktop which has a macro to import csv from another file saved on my desktop. I would like to distribute my excel file to other colleagues which will have both files saved on their desktop.
My Macro refers to my user and user name Users\123456\, therefore I would need to modify the macro for any single colleague I distribute the file to, is there a way to avoid this by changing the VBA code to read the user path?

With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"TEXT;C:\Users\123456\Desktop\UNM0007.csv", Destination:=Range("$A$1"))

Thanks

When they said...
When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
First calculate the connection text, then add the query:
Code:
myc = "TEXT;" & Environ("username") & "\Desktop\UNM0007.csv"
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:=myc, Destination:=Range("$A$1"))
Bye

Sorry, I realize that I forgot some pieces, in my instruction:
Code:
myc = "TEXT;" & "C:\Users\" & Environ("username") & "\Desktop\UNM0007.csv"      'C:\Users\ was missing
