I'm trying to save to a network drive using "UNC" (Universal Naming Convention) format vs. the mapped letter drive.

Saving using the mapped letter drive below works fine:

F:\Folder\SubFolder1\SubFolder2\FileName.xls

My understanding is that I just need to replace the F: with it's UNC format, but saving using that as below does not work:

\\NetworkDrive\F:NetworkFolder\SubFolder1\SubFolder2\FileName.xls

I get Error 1004 - Cannot access drive ... File name or path does not exit...

Any suggestions to fix?

Your network path does not exist. You can test by WIN+E and paste:

\\NetworkDrive\F:NetworkFolder\SubFolder1\SubFolder2
or even

\\NetworkDrive\F:NetworkFolder
maybe?

\\NetworkDrive\NetworkFolder\SubFolder1\SubFolder2

Thank you! The test you suggested was the key. The shared drive had a prefix that was apparently another folder that needed to be included in the full path.
