Or you can use something like the code below. (I have created a folder "Documents" with the wincc project folder). [code]dim fso, f, s Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set f = fso.GetFile("An_Existing_Mimic.PDL") s = UCase(f.Path) s = Ucase(f.ParentFolder.ParentFolder) & "\Documents\excelFile.xls" [/code] Now you have a refrence to the excelfile within the variable "s". with regards, Ikkezelf
