Jump to PostIf I understand correctly. You can use the stored system variables:
Debug.Print Environ("PROGRAMFILES") 'OR if you want just the drive letter you can also use Debug.Print Environ("HOMEDRIVE") 'OR Debug.Print Environ("SYSTEMDRIVE")Find a large list of these variables here and what they are all about:

The path where the project file resides can be gotten (as a string) using App.Path
