ThisWorkbook.FullName

[Steph]

Hi everyone. The below piece of code checks to see if the current open file
name is the same as a file name in a server folder.

If LCase(file) <> LCase(ThisWorkbook.FullName) Then

If LCase(file) returns a server path like \\servera\folder\folder\folder

LCase(ThisWorkbook.FullName) returns a path like G:\folder\folder\folder

They are the same thing, but according to vb are different. How can I get
LCase(ThisWorkbook.FullName) to return \\servera\folder\folder\folder??

What you want is...

ThisWorkbook.Path

HTH,

Hi Gary. This Workbook.Path gives me the same thing as Fullname, which is
the G:\ rather than the \\servera\

Here's a link to a couple of posts from Jim Rech and Tom Ogilvy about how to
convert the drive letter to the UNC path:
