File Save As macro for users with different paths

Below I have a sub routine that needs to be modified to enable multiple users
with different paths to the same file location on a network drive to save the
file using this macro. The only difference in location is the letter of the
drive. On my computer it is identified as "N:", but on another user's
computer it could be identified as any letter of the alphabet. Any simple
solutions to this issue?

Sub saveNew()
yyyy = Format(Range("M1").Value, "yyyy")
mmddyyyy = Format(Range("M1").Value, "mm-dd-yyyy")
mmddyy = Range("M2").Value

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="N:\FOLDER\FOLDER 2\folder 3\" & yyyy & "\"
& mmddyyyy & " Distribution" & "\Rates " & mmddyy & ".xls"

End Sub
 
Check if path exists and if not provide a browse option to pick the folder..

With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
.AllowMultiSelect = False
.InitialFileName = "N:\"
.Show
strFolder = .SelectedItems(1)
End With

Hey!! Why dont you try the UNC path instead of the mapped drive...If you are
not sure check out with your network administrator...which would be same for
all users within the network.

\\servername\volumename\share\folder\
