Open File Location

[properties]

How can I rewrite this code to open a file named "invoice", in case I move
the workbook to another directory.

T.I.A.



Workbooks.OpenText Filename:= _
"C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My
Documents\\Project\Summary\Test_Macro\invoice"

Workbooks.OpenText Filename:= _
"C:\newdirectory\invoice"

You either need to
- know the directory name
- get the path of the activeworkbook
- get the path of thisworkbook
- use GetOpenFilename to browse for the file.

Oops! Move you the workbook?

Not rewrite!!

Sorry I didn't make my question clear. I want to write this code so that
regardless of where I put this workbook it will look to open the file in the
directory where the workbook exists.

Use something like

Workbooks.Open ThisWorkbook.Path & "\Invoice.xls"
