Hi Frank,
Funny but when I comment these 3 lines everything worked smootly.
The msgbox indicated the log path & name OK.
The macro saved the content to the log file.
Thanks for all the info and patience with me.:)

Hi Marty
now i see but this line should not throw an error (as this should be
prevented by the line: 'on error resume next'). As a workaround you may
comment these 3 lines (if you're sure that the log.xls file is not
opened manually by a user). Your code should work then. But I'm still
curious why this error is not catched by the 'on error resume next'
line.
