You mean you are trying to check the path (and possibly Kill) a file from
within it's own Workbook_Open event ?
You can't Kill an open file, so this will fail. You have seen a Permission
denied error.

Why not check the path before you open it, as you must know the path in
order to open it.
If it is wrong, Kill it.

I have a file with the Workbook_Open routine looking at the Path for the
current workbook.

If the Path is not equal to the expected location, I want to close the
active file and kill it as part of the subroutine.

Is this possible? I've tried several variations of the KILL command, but
to
no avail.
