SYMPTOMS
When you are recording a Visual Basic, Applications Edition, macro and you
choose Open or Save As from the File menu and change the active drive, the
macro recorder may incorrectly record the drive change as a directory
change. When the macro is replayed, it produces an error message:
Run-time error '1004':
Cannot find '<filename>':
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, you must edit the macro. Select the module
sheet in which the macro was recorded and change the following macro code
ChDir "<drive letter>:\"
to:
ChDrive "<drive letter>:\"
