    Hi,
    I use the below code to specify where a database is:

    myDB = "C:\Documents and Settings\Pratik\Desktop\Testdb.mdb"
    I was wondering if there was a way to amend this for it to just look on this PC/User's desktop without my actually specifying the actual path?

    Maybe something like..

    Application.Desktop
    or something??

    I need this because i'm potentially going to send this code to other user's and get them to run this macro...

    1. Use code tags. Place "[code]" before the first line of code and "[/code"]" after the last line of code. Exclude quotation marks
