Here’s a detailed description of my problem – hope you don’t mind me including every info including Row1 code or whatever that is)

I have been getting this error every time I validate my tax returns using Microsoft Excel. Usually, you download the compressed file from the taxman’s portal (compressed folder containing the main tax file with Macros and all that stuff…eg. of file name: “VAT3_Return_’customerpin'”.
Then there is a compressed folder containing a folder called “csv” in which auto-populated .csv files are included (eg. your purchases and sales with respective info to assist you in filing your returns).
Now, back to the main file, when I import the relevant info and the “tax computation” sheet is populated, all I need to do now is click “Validate” which then prompts “Sheets ready to be uploaded Do you want to generate upload file?” upon which I click “Yes”. This is where my trouble begins, clicking “Yes” prompts an error:
“Run-time error ’76’: Path not found”, upon which I can either click “End” or “Help”. The former auto-creates a “Sheet1” with the following details (as indicated):

I have tried extracting the downloaded (zipped folder) to another location: “C:VAT Returns” but still get the same error.
