Question

I have written an Excel VBA macro which imports data from a HTML file (stored locally) before performing calculations on the data.

At the moment the HTML file is referred to with an absolute path:

Workbooks.Open FileName:='C:\Documents and Settings\Senior Caterer\My Documents\Endurance Calculation\TRICATEndurance Summary.html' 

However I want to use a relative path to refer to it as opposed to absolute (this is because I want to distribute the spreadsheet to colleagues who might not use the same folder structure). As the html file and the excel spreadsheet sit in the same folder I would not have thought this would be difficult, however I am just completely unable to do it. I have searched on the web and the suggested solutions have all appeared very complicated.

I am using Excel 2000 and 2002 at work, but as I plan to distribute it I would want it to work with as many versions of Excel as possible.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Just to clarify what yalestar said, this will give you the relative path:

Workbooks.Open FileName:= ThisWorkbook.Path & '\TRICATEndurance Summary.html'
