Use folder to open excel

Hi,

I have an excel workbook that contains a userform.

In this userform, the user has the possibility to open several other documents that I have created.

I would like to be able to share this with my colleagues and do so in the following way:

Create a folder where I can copy all the workbooks that the user will be able to open with the userform and the workbook with the userform itself.
If I then send it to a colleague, I would like it to appear like a program in the way that I would like the folder not to open, but to launch the workbook with the userform. Is this possible?

If there is a smarter way, please enlighten me. :)

I just want it to be as simple as possible for the colleagues that may use this, and limit their access to open individual documents "outside" the userform that I created.
 

Excel Facts

Select a hidden cell
Somehide hide payroll data in column G? Press F5. Type G1. Enter. Look in formula bar while you arrow down through G.
I have decided to make it easier on myself.

I can accept creating a folder named "Main Programme" and then a subfolder named "workbooks" where all the workbooks will be located, including the main workbook that launches the userform.
I will then create a shortcut and place that in the "Main Programme" folder so that my colleagues only has the option to open the shortcut.

My question will then be, how do I open the different workbooks when pressing the commandbutton in the userform?
I know there is a way where you type the file path, but since I might share this with my colleagues and the file path therefore would change, I would like an option where excel only looks in the folder where the userform workbook is placed, and I will then place all other workbooks in that same folder. So that it does not matter where the "Main Programme" folder is placed.
