refer to sound file in same directory as word file

[chodkinson]

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to play a sound which is contained in the same folder as my word document. I have managed to do it by entering the full path in the vb code. However i want to copy the files to a different pc so the path i have specified will therefore change. Basically i just want to refer to the file which will be in the same directory as the word file. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

hi Christian,

You can retrieve the document's path with code like:
ActiveDocument.Path
If you use that as a variable, it'll be available for pointing to the sound file.
