Dave:

Thanks for the answer. No, I did not have 11 sheets in this new workbook. Both names in the workbook for this particular sheet are 'Sheet11', and I didn't realize that that is not what 'Worksheets(11)' means, so when I changed it to Worksheets("Sheet11") the code ran fine.

Again, thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

You sure you have 11 worksheets?

that error #9 means subscript out of range and I don't see any other subscripts
in that line of code.


Also, for later use:

dim gFileCell as range
dim gFile as string

with worksheets(11) 'after you've fixed this!
set gFileCell = .Range("A2:A7736").Find(What:=i, _
After:=.cells(.cells.count), _
LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False)
if gfilecell is nothing then
'error message
else
gfile = gfilecell.offset(0,1).value
end if
end with

If you don't find what you're looking for, you're code will break--better to
check to see if you found what you were looking for.

I've got some code below that has run fine elsewhere (another sheet with different pathnames), but it is giving me a runtime error now. Basically it is supposed to go get the cell contents (value) that act as a pathname for a web query. The error is happening at the "gFile = Worksheets(11)...." line. The ranges and the cell references are correct and the pathnames actually do return a document when used elsewhere. (The layout of the table with the pathnames that are looked-up is between the double lines at the bottom of the page.)

Any ideas as to why this isn't working?

Thanks,

Paul
