Macros - invalid directory

Jsteve89
5 - Atom

Hi all - I am trying to build a macro to allow users to pull files from a SharePoint site using the Directory tool.  When using the Update Value with Formula function with the Directory tool, when running, it adds the Workflow Directory where I have the macro saved (e.g. C:\Users\Username\Desktop\[CORRECT MACRO FORMULA] even though that is not included in my formula

 

How can I get the Directory tool to stop including the WorkflowDirectory?

Hello @Jsteve89 ,

 

With the information given its a little difficult to guess how to help you to be honest. If you are telling me that it always takes the directory where the macro is saved it seems that you are using relative paths is some unwanted way. Here is an article about them:

If you can give us a more detailed description we may be able to help you better.

 

Sorry for not understanding you better.

 

Regards
