Saving files to mapped drive

Hi,

I have a macro which saves files to other mapped network drives. Can anyone tell me if there is any reason for using one of the methods below rather than the other? Would one be quicker, more efficient, more reliable, etc? Thanks for any help

Method 1:

dim mp
.....
mp = "X"
file = "save this.xls"

Windows(file).Activate
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:= mp & ":\" & file, FileFormat:=xlNormal
ActiveWorkbook.Close

Method 2:

dim mp
.....
mp = "X"
file = "save this.xls"

Windows(file).Activate
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:=  "C:\" & file, FileFormat:=xlNormal
ActiveWorkbook.Close    
FileCopy "C:\" & file, mp & ":\" & file

And, would it make any difference if I was saving .csv files rather than .xls?
