    Pull info from excel workbook located on another computer.

    I am trying to retrieve data that is located in a excel file. The problem is the file resides on another computer within the network. I have been able to get it to work as long as the 2 files are located in the same folder on the same computer, but I need it to get it from where it resides normally. Another problem is I cant figure how to make it look for the right file for that month. The source file is generated automattically and always has the same name but resides in a folder named after the month on the other computer.

    An example of the file location would be..
    Twm2\c\Documents and Settings\water\2010\May\EBOpsLedger.xls
    The month would change every month.

    This is what I have so far:

    I was able to get most of it to work. I just cant get the window to come back up after it closes the source file. It keeps excel minimized to the taskbar after the macro runs.
