    two questions referencing a cell in a macro for folder and running a macro on one sheet

    Hi there! I have 2 questions, but first I will input the code:
    Sub automkdir()
    
    Sheets("X").Select
    Dim xdir As String
        Dim fso
        Dim lstrow As Long
        Dim i As Long
        Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
        lstrow = ActiveSheet.Cells(ActiveSheet.Rows.Count, "H").End(xlUp).Row
        Application.ScreenUpdating = False
        For i = 2 To lstrow
            'path to create folders
            xdir = "C:\Users\blue\Documents\" & Range("H" & i).Value & Left(Range("G" & i).Value, 1)
            If Not fso.FolderExists(xdir) Then
                fso.CreateFolder (xdir)
            End If
        Next
        Application.ScreenUpdating = True
           
    '    Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:01:00"), "automkdir"
    
    End Sub
    So this formula works great except for 2 things - It runs on every workbook, I want to limit it just to the workbook and sheet I'm in. I also don't even need it to be running in the foreground and would prefer it just run silently in the background no matter what others worksheets or workbooks I am in, as long as this one is open.

    The other problem I have is instead of C:\Users\blue\Documents" I want it to read blue as a variable that I input on lets say Sheet "Y". So if sheet Y has "blue" in Cell A1, and I change is to "red", the macro will look for C:\Users\red\Documents" instead.

    Thank you for your help!
