Hi All,

How with VBA to get folder path if you know folder name only ?
For example if you know that somewhere in computer there is a folder named “Invoices_2019
Thank you in advance
 

Excel Facts

Fastest way to copy a worksheet?
Hold down the Ctrl key while dragging tab for Sheet1 to the right. Excel will make a copy of the worksheet.
If it were below "Y our document s" then probably searchable, if it was in an unexpected place then how many iterations are you prepared to wait before a fail, given that the search term might not be exact

Hi

Thank you very much for reply. The scenario is this:
There is a program made by Excel VBA for more than one user & database file located on SERVER, in folder “Invoices_2019“,so any user can use the same database file. It happens that the company changes server name or location, so in program I need to have a VBA code to find folder’s new location.

Sorry, I did not quite understand your reply, English is my 2nd language, is what I’m asking not possible?

Hi,

I don't have a code, I ask for it from you guys. I need a code to find where is the new location of the folder “Invoices_2019“ on the network. Let say before it was on '\\ABCData\", and now it changed & it is in "\\ABCMainData\", so I'm looking for a VBA code to get "\\ABCMainData\".
Thank you in advance
