I am using a macro in excel to save data in access database,excel(named DMI-Form-505-ToExcel.xlsm) and it easily save in access datbase(e.g. C:/Me/Project/DMI-Form-505-ToExcel.accdb). However, I want to give this to someone else and it will not work on their computer as they will have different path which is save in there system etc. How can I get the macro to work in other system (global path)?

this is my code:-

VB

Sub Mail_workbook_Outlook_2()
Dim newcon As ADODB.Connection
Set newcon = New ADODB.Connection
Dim Recordset As ADODB.Recordset

Set Recordset = New ADODB.Recordset
newcon.Open "provider=microsoft.ace.oledb.12.0;Data source= C:\Users\Reva 006\Desktop\New folder (3)\DMI-Form-505-ToAccess.accdb"
Recordset.Open "Sheet1", newcon, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic


Recordset.AddNew

Recordset.Fields(0).Value = Range("c9").Value 'name
Recordset.Fields(1).Value = Range("C10").Value 'department
Recordset.Fields(2).Value = Range("C11").Value 'reason of request
Recordset.Fields(3).Value = Range("I9").Value 'ext
Recordset.Fields(4).Value = Range("I10").Value 'date
Recordset.Fields(5).Value = Range("C15").Value 'status
Recordset.Fields(6).Value = Range("A15").Value 'rev
Recordset.Fields(7).Value = Range("B15").Value ' document
Recordset.Fields(8).Value = Range("I15").Value 'Additional information
Recordset.Fields(9).Value = Range("F15").Value 'project
Recordset.Fields(10).Value = Range("G15").Value 'EWo
Recordset.Fields(11).Value = Range("H15").Value 'Autocad


Recordset.Update

Recordset.Close

End Sub

If i understand you well...

All what you need to do is to pass path to ms Access database as an argument:

VB

Sub Mail_workbook_Outlook_2(ByVal sDatabaseFile As String)
'
newcon.Open "provider=microsoft.ace.oledb.12.0;Data source= " & sDatabaseFile

'
End Sub

Usage:

VB

Sub Whatever
Dim vFileName As String
    
vFileName = Application.GetOpenFileName("Access database files (*.accdb), *.accdb")
If CStr(vFile) = CStr(False) Then Exit Sub

Mail_workbook_Outlook_2 CStr vFileName

End Sub
