Hi
I am having a really strange issue that I can't seem to figure out. I couldn't even figure out how to title this thread very easily. My problem is as follows

I work with macro enabled spreadsheets where I have a heap of data in a bunch of separate workbooks. I use another workbook to go through each of those workbooks and extract data from them into the one spreadsheet. I have all my files stored in my dropbox folder so I can have access to these files anywhere I might be, as I am not always at my desk when needing these files. It has always worked well and will work all the time at my office PC.
When I am working from home though the VBA coding doesnt work properly and it tries putting data into the wrong cells and working incorrectly. If I move my files from dropbox onto my desktop folder the macro will work without issue. I originally thought there was something wrong with my excel setup but now I have no idea of what it could be. It isn't a major issue but it is frustrating shifting folders between dropbox and the desktop all the time.
Has anyone ever encountered this or know of this issue and know of a fix?
