Convert your macros to code. It will make the Db alot easier to manage as it grows.

Thanks for the example. My macro exports a table to a spreadsheet form; the macro works fine when I specify the full path. For example C:\myFolder\db\excel\filename. If I don't specify the full path and just wrote the filename, it creates the file in My Documents!Oldsoftboss said:
If I write a path like excel\filename, it returns an error. Also, the reason I want to write it this way is that I don't want the macro to return an error whenever I move the directory 'db' to another location.
Thank you,

Absolutely not. i am not wanting to write the full path because it's flexible and will save me having to modify all the paths whenever I want to move the location of the folder where the DB resides.RV said:Logically, you do need to specify the full path.
As for bypassing error messages, that's definitely not a good reason to use macro's instead of VBA

As for using either macros or VBA, I don't mind as long as they do the job.

Guess you didn't understand my reply....
You'll simply have to provide the full path to export your xls file to, you haven't got much of a choice
However, you can create a treeview that enables you to select the folder you want to store your file to.

I am not sure how a treeview will work though. Will it prompt you when you press a button about where you want to save it?
An example will be very helpful.
