Hi,

I'm using a code from Keith Rice to save drawings off as PDF's in a specific location on our network.

An issue we have run into is when the file we are trying to save as pdf was opened through the network drive we get "run-time error 52 bad filename or number" on line 45 of the code.

\\XXXX\Design\DRAWINGS CONSTRUCTION\0-2018\Job Name\SolidWorks Files\Drawings

vs

N:\DRAWINGS CONSTRUCTION\0-2018\Job Name\SolidWorks Files\Drawings - This way runs the macro correctly.

From my searches it looks as though the \\xxxx name isn't a valid name.We'd like to be able to run this macro from either location, is this possible?

Thanks for any help.
