Run Time Error 5 - when saving to shared drive - excel

Question

My code runs perfectly when I save to my local drive, but when I save to the shared drive I get Runtime Error 5? How is this occurring?
I have unmerged cells and put it as center across selection
Ensured that the whole document is within the print margins
Edit: I have tried saving into the folder directory above where I was saving and it works. I understand that there is a character limit (pathname and title), which might be the problem? Is there a way to solve this?
The error is in the following area:
'Creating Only the PDF based on Company Network - there is an existing folder
ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, _
Filename:=Fldr & "\" & Title & ".pdf", _
Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
IgnorePrintAreas:=False
This is the whole code:
Option Explicit
Private Function selectfolder()
'Defining the Variables
Dim user_name As String
user_name = Environ("username") 'to pick up the username from work environment
'Prompt for folder creation
With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
.Title = "Select the folder to save"
.InitialFileName = "C:\Users\" & user_name & "\Department\"
.AllowMultiSelect = False
If .Show <> -1 Then Exit Function 'if user does not press OK, end the function'
selectfolder = .SelectedItems(1)
End With
End Function
Sub SaveActiveSheetAsPDF()
'Create a message box to ask user before proceeding
If MsgBox("This will print to PDFs. Continue?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion + vbDefaultButton2, "Printing to PDFs") = vbNo Then Exit Sub
'Defining the Type of Variables
Dim inputrange As Range 'Range represents a cell or multiple cells in Excel
Dim cell As Range
Dim network, Address, Fldr, Title As String
'If user does not choose a folder
Address = selectfolder
If Address = "" Then
Exit Sub
End If
'Determine (set) where validation comes from - create a reference point
Set inputrange = Evaluate(Range("G2").Validation.Formula1)
For Each cell In inputrange
Range("G2").Value = cell.Value
'Defining the Company Network Folder variables
network = Range("C6").Value
Fldr = Address & "\" & network
Title = "MonthlyReport (" & Format(Range("C8"), "mmmm") & ") - " & ActiveSheet.Range("B2").Value & " (" & ActiveSheet.Range("G2").Value & ")"

If Dir(Fldr, vbDirectory) = "" Then
'Create a folder
MkDir Fldr
'Save Active Sheet as PDF and to Company Network file
ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, _
Filename:=Fldr & "\" & Title & ".pdf", _

IgnorePrintAreas:=False
'Creating Only the PDF based on Company Network - there is an existing folder

End If

It is difficult to diagnose problems with network drive without more information, but I could suggest a workaround instead.
You could save the file on your local drive and then move it using the File System Object in VBA. Here's how it would look like:
'Save Active Sheet as PDF in temporary folder
ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, _
Filename:=Environ("TEMP") & "\" & Title & ".pdf", _
Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
IgnorePrintAreas:=False
'Move PDF to Company network drive
Dim fso As FileSystemObject
Set fso = New FileSystemObject
fso.MoveFile Environ("TEMP") & "\" & Title & ".pdf", Fldr & "\" & Title & ".pdf"
Note that for this code to work, you need a reference to the Microsoft Scripting Runtime Library.
