At my work we run off a networked system. The only way I can make my excel tool to be used by my fellow counterparts is by creating a shortcut from the network drive to my desktop, than save the workbook by using that path. What is a way that i can save my workbook to this shortcutted folder.

I guess that I am confused. Why not just save to a UNC path? You could save to a mapped drive as well. Of course if you want files saved to "your" Desktop by others, that won't work.
