Curdir function

Note: The function, method, object, or property described in this topic is disabled if the Microsoft Jet Expression Service is running in sandbox mode, which prevents the evaluation of potentially unsafe expressions. For more information on sandbox mode, search for "sandbox mode" in Help.

Returns a Variant (String) representing the current path.

Syntax

CurDir[(drive)]

The optional driveargument is a string expression that specifies an existing drive. If no drive is specified or if drive is a zero-length string (""), CurDir returns the path for the current drive. On the Macintosh, CurDir ignores any drive specified and simply returns the path for the current drive.

Example

Note: Examples that follow demonstrate the use of this function in a Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) module. For more information about working with VBA, select Developer Reference in the drop-down list next to Search and enter one or more terms in the search box.

This example uses the CurDir function to return the current path. On the Macintosh, drive specifications given to CurDir are ignored. The default drive name is "HD" and portions of the pathname are separated by colons instead of backslashes. Similarly, you would specify Macintosh folders instead of \Windows.

' Assume current path on C drive is "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM" (on Microsoft Windows).
' Assume current path on D drive is "D:\EXCEL".
' Assume C is the current drive.
Dim MyPath
MyPath = CurDir ' Returns "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM".
MyPath = CurDir("C") ' Returns "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM".
MyPath = CurDir("D") ' Returns "D:\EXCEL".
