Refer Folder/Filename in VBA code through Named cell reference

[acsishere]

Dear Friends,

I have the following codes in which I am to refer a file and folder to do some further processes.

myfilename = "C:\Documents and settings\acs\My Documents\Entry\myfile1.xls"
folderPath = "C:\Documents and settings\acs\My Documents\Entry\"

I want to enter these two paths in a sheet in my excel report file (For example, I am running the report from Report1.xls, in which there is a sheet name "Filepaths". In this,

in B5, I would like to enter the Filepath (B5 named as "FILEPATH")
in B6, I would like to enter the Folderpath (B6 named as "FOLDERPATH")

So that, if I am copying the folder to another area, I no need to change the code every time in the VBA editor. I can do changes in these cells and it will be taken as the path to run the code further.

Sincerely waiting for your kind reply,

Thanks in advance,

acsishere.

Hi, how can you concatenate the folder

I have a folder that sections change each month
so folder path = C:\contant1\constan2\YEAR\QUARTER\constant3\

my user would change the YEAR and QUARTER in sheet1 fields B5 & C5,

I have seen the work sheet concatenating these into one, but cannot remember how.

once the above script runs, I want to be left in the original file to complete the macro

Any help, many thanks
