Hi
can you put the following line in the Immediate window of the VBA
editor
Workbooks.Open Filename:="C:\log.xls"
and hit ENTER

Does this open the log.xls file?

Hi Frank,
Thanks for all your help. I am not getting anyware. Although I've
changed the path to "C:\" and put the "log.xls" file there as your
last suggestion, I keep getting the macro error!. Don't know if you
are using a version better then XL2000 maybe inspide of my Win98SE
system+Office2000.
Finally: I need to have the log file opened prior to the execution of
the macro in order to write to the log file.
Wow....what a try!.....
I'll be much obliged to any expert that can pin-point the trouble.
