Constructing a path to open file

F

Francis Brown

Thanks to previous replies I now have the global variable I need to construct
the network path to a user store file.

The variable CommandN has the no. of 1-7 which dictates a users management
area.

I need to use this to construct the network path to use in a workbooks.open
command.

e.g
workbooks.open("Z:/Systemdown/"&CommandN&"/Userfile.xls")

The module won't compile like this.

Can someone show how to write this line correctly.

Regards and Thanks for any assistance.

Francis Brown.

Remove the opening and closing parentheses, and put spaces around
your '&' characters. Without the spaces, VBA treats the &
character as a data type specifier, not a concatenation operator.
