When i change the sheet i need to go to a different path. But the Dir does not work??
This line shows ""
VBA Code:
strFolder = Dir(strPath, vbDirectory)


VBA Code:
Private Sub OpenFolder_Click()

    Dim SourcePath As String
    Dim SubPath      As String
    Dim strFolder     As String
    Dim strPath        As String
    Dim PDFFName As String
    Dim Answer        As VbMsgBoxResult
    Dim cmbdata

        cmbdata = Split(Me.OpenDrawing.Value, "-")
        cmbdata(0) = Replace(cmbdata(0), "-", "")
        
        If ActiveSheet.Name = "Frost Drains" Then
        SourcePath = "S:\R&D\Drawing Nos\Frost Grates"
        GoTo Path
        
        ElseIf ActiveSheet.Name = "DrNo Dic" Then
        SourcePath = "S:\R&D\Drawing Nos"
        GoTo Path
        
Path:
    If Val(cmbdata(0)) >= 10001 And Val(cmbdata(0)) <= 10050 Then
        SubPath = "10001-10050"
    ElseIf Val(cmbdata(0)) >= 10051 And Val(cmbdata(0)) <= 10100 Then
        SubPath = "10051-10100"
    ElseIf Val(cmbdata(0)) >= 10101 And Val(cmbdata(0)) <= 10150 Then
        SubPath = "10101-10150"
    ElseIf Val(cmbdata(0)) >= 10151 And Val(cmbdata(0)) <= 10200 Then
        SubPath = "10151-10200"
    End If
        
    strPath = SourcePath & "\" & SubPath & "\" & Int(cmbdata(0))
    strFolder = Dir(strPath, vbDirectory)
    
            On Error Resume Next
             If strFolder = strFolder Then
             ActiveWorkbook.FollowHyperlink Address:=strPath, NewWindow:=True
             End If
             
              If strFolder = vbNullString Then
                     Answer = MsgBox("Folder - Path does not exist. Would you like to create it?", vbYesNo, "Create Folder - Path")
                If Answer = vbNo Then
                    Exit Sub
                        ElseIf Answer = vbYes Then
                            VBA.FileSystem.MkDir (strPath)
                      End If
                End If
        End If
      
End Sub
 
If the code stops then it has completed, so I don't know what you mean about resetting it? Sorry i was getting confused

Your code also tries to follow a link to the folder before checking if it exists, which seems a little odd to me. The checking folder exist is now in the correct order
It`s still the
VBA Code:
strFolder = Dir(strPath, vbDirectory)
which shows ""

Excel Facts

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
I can't think of any other reason than that the folder path doesn't exist.

Solution
Just to check: how did you do that? The full path is not included your code, it's calculated at runtime.
