So, I am using a code to open a word file and paste there some data from excel and save it, but I have a problem.

The file is in dropbox and using it from different pc it exists is a different directory:
1)C:\Users\user\Dropbox
2)C:\Users\pc\Dropbox

I cannot change the folder name because it conflicts with so many different things and creates issues with other programs.

So I need a code to try and open the file in one location and if it is not there open it from the second one (and also save in the other one). Below is my code:

Code:
Sub WordUp()


Dim WdObj As Object, fname As String


fname = Sheets(2).[b1].Value


If fname <> "" Then 'make sure fname is not blank


    Set WdObj = CreateObject("Word.Application")
    
    WdObj.Visible = True
    
    finalrow = Sheets("Prosfora").Range("A9999").End(xlUp).Row
    Sheets("Prosfora").Range("A2:A" & finalrow).Copy
    
    WdObj.Documents.Open Filename:="C:\Users\User\Dropbox\ÐÑÏÃÑÁÌÌÁÔÁ\prosfora template1.docx"
    
    
    With WdObj
    
        .ChangeFileOpenDirectory "C:\Users\User\Dropbox\ÐÑÏÃÑÁÌÌÁÔÁ" 'save Dir
    
        .ActiveDocument.SaveAs Filename:="Ðñïóöïñá " & fname & ".doc"
        
    End With
    
    WdObj.Selection.PasteSpecial Link:=False ', DataType:=wdPasteText , Placement:=wdInLine, DisplayAsIcon:=False
    
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    
    
    WdObj.ActiveDocument.Save
    Else:
    
    MsgBox ("ÐñïóèÝóôå ¼íïìá ÐåëÜôç")


End If

Set WdObj = Nothing


End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
