This line works...

Set working = Workbooks.Open("L:\theFolder\TheEmail.xls")

this one returns a 1004 error...

Set working = Workbooks.Open("L:\theFolder\TheEmail.xls")

getting "smart" I tried...

Set working = Workbooks.Open("""L:\theFolder\The Email.xls""")

The file in question WILL have a space in the name when we receive it. Is
there some trick to opening the file when there's a space in the name?
