Thank you ahead of time for the help.

I have some vba code that has been working flawlessley on my machine. Essentially, I use vba to create an email and attach a personal signature from outlook. The part of my code that has worked and is now in question is this:

Code:
SigString = Environ("appdata") & "\Microsoft\Signatures\Standard.htm"
              If Dir(SigString, vbNormal) <> "" Then
              Signature = GetBoiler(SigString)
              Else
              Signature = ""
              End If

This finds the file fine on my machine and the email is created nicely. When I go to the folder and select the file, the path is this:

file:///C:/Users/whitekv/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Signatures/Standard.htm

I am trying to run the code on a co-workers machine and not getting the signature to attach to the email because when we click on the signature file, the path is this:

file:///C:/Users/Nayran/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Signatures/Standard%20.htm

You can see that he has the extra %20 on the end of his filename. How so I remove this or what is the most effective way to make his machine interpret the filepath like mine does? The code does not locate the file because of the %20 added to the end.

Thank you!

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
Hello, I believe your co-worker has saved his e-mail signature with a space at the end, i.e. he has saved it as "Standard " rather than "Standard".

Rename the signature in Outlook with the space removed and your code should work.
