I think we are going in two different directions. I see what you are saying
about that path not being correct, but I think there is a bigger problem
with trying to script Excel on a network. The reason I think this is
because when I do the following script
Tell application "Microsoft Excel"
Create New Workbook
End tell
I get the error "Microsoft Excel got an error: Can't Continue Create"
But if I run that same script on a machine with identical Excel versions but
the machine's home directory lives on that machine then there is no
problem!!
Thanks for all your help and patience!
Courtney
