Changing working directory from Excel vba shell

Question

For work, I\'m trying to run a Python script from an Excel VBA macro.

The macro is as follows -

Sub Plot()

Shell \"C:\\Users\\maheshda\\AppData\\Lo         


        

Answer 1

FCastro, why did you bother with that StrComp line? And, for that matter, why bother with the Strings object?

I suppose if the drive were external and hadn't been accessed yet it might take a moment, but as long as the path is not expected to be a USB/CD/DVD/etc..., then:

Public Sub Change_Current_Directory(NewDirectoryPath as string)
    ChDrive Left(NewDirectoryPath,1)
    ChDir NewDirectoryPath
End Function
