Converting a public folder path to a UNC path

Question

I am trying to convert the current path to a shared folder to a path using the current path with the name of the computer. However, the result is a compilation error: the expected array in the string "elem = UBound (CurrentPathA)" in Public Function UNCpath (). Can you guys tell me that there seems to be a problem causing this problem? and perhaps share the best ideas to get the wrong way?

    Option Explicit

    #If VBA7 Then
    Private Declare PtrSafe Function fnGetComputerName Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetComputerNameW" (ByVal lpBuffer As LongPtr, ByRef nSize As Long) As Long
    #Else
    Private Declare Function fnGetComputerName Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetComputerNameW" (ByVal lpBuffer As Long, ByRef nSize As Long) As Long
    #End If

    Public Function GetComputerName() As String
    Const MAX_COMPUTERNAME_LENGTH As Long = 31

    Dim buf As String, buf_len As Long

    buf = String$(MAX_COMPUTERNAME_LENGTH + 1, 0)
    buf_len = Len(buf)

    If (fnGetComputerName(StrPtr(buf), buf_len)) = 0 Then
    GetComputerName = "ErrorGettingComputerName"
    Else
    GetComputerName = Left$(buf, buf_len)
    End If
    End Function


    Public Function UNCpath() As String
    Dim CompName As String, CurrentPath As String, CurrentPathA As String

    CompName = GetComputerName()
    CurrentPath = ThisWorkbook.Path
    CurrentPathA = Split(CurrentPath, "\")
    elem = UBound(CurrentPathA)
    CurrentPath = CurrentPathA(elem)
    UNCpath = "\\" & CompName & "\" & CurrentPath
    End Function

Or use a file system object:

Function GetUNCLateBound(strMappedDrive As String) As String

    Dim objFso  As Object
    Set objFso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

    Dim strDrive As String
    Dim strShare As String

    'Separate the mapped letter from
    'any following sub-folders
    strDrive = objFso.GetDriveName(strMappedDrive)

    'find the UNC share name from the mapped letter
    strShare = objFso.Drives(strDrive & "\").ShareName

    'The Replace function allows for sub-folders
    'of the mapped drive
    GetUNCLateBound = Replace(strMappedDrive, strDrive, strShare)

    Set objFso = Nothing 'Destroy the object

End Function

I just found and changed this, to which credit should be due, to be tied up late:

, :

CurrentPathA = Split(CurrentPath, "\")

Split . , Split .

Ubound . , , Ubound(_string_) UBound(_array_).

Dim CurrentPathA As Variant
