T o create files in the folder where the workbook is located Thisworkbook.Path is the preferred choice, but that gives errors with Office/365 and onedrive. In my case Thisworkbook.Path= "https://d.docs.live.net/beccd3471f9cbf60/Documenten/code snippets/Symbol table" local (in my laptop) this is "D:\OneDrive\Documenten\code snippets\Symbol table" replace(mid(Thisworkbook.Path,instr(Thisworkbook.Path,split(Thisworkbook.Path,"/")(4))),"/","\") results in "Documenten\code snippets\Symbol table" Now prepend "D:\OneDrive" (everything in this folder is synced with onedrive) and I get a path I can use with fso.OpenTextFile Is this "D:\OneDrive" value retrievable somewhere? And to make this work with different exel versions (2013 and later) how to code that?

Thisworkbook.Path is the preferred choice, but that gives errors with Office/365 and onedrive.
In my case Thisworkbook.Path=

"https://d.docs.live.net/beccd3471f9cbf60/Documenten/code snippets/Symbol table"

local (in my laptop) this is

"D:\OneDrive\Documenten\code snippets\Symbol table"

Code:

replace(mid(Thisworkbook.Path,instr(Thisworkbook.Path,split(Thisworkbook.Path,"/")(4))),"/","\")

results in

"Documenten\code snippets\Symbol table"

Now prepend "D:\OneDrive" (everything in this folder is synced with onedrive)
and I get a path I can use with fs
