Is it the array or the directory? It seems to be working fine as long as
either (1) the files exist in the current directory or (2) I specify the path
in the array of names.

some help

i have an array of file names

arr = Array("File1.xls", "File2.xls", "File3.xls")

why doesn't this open them

For i = LBound(arr) To UBound(arr)
Workbooks.Open Filename:=arr(i), ReadOnly:=True, UpdateLinks:=3

arr(i) contains "file1.xls", but i get an error
