That seems like it may be on the right track actually. As for using
FormulaR1C1, I am using it because I am looking at a text cell (the
cells contain names of different folders). I was under the impression
that you needed to use FormulaR1C1 when it was text if you wanted to be
able to ignore capitalization. I'm teaching myself VBA though, so I
fully admit that I really don't have any idea what I'm talking about.
What is the difference in formula and value exactly?

What is the point to the FormulaR1C1 as opposed to the value? Are you really
looking for a formula. That might be a good place to start.

I am getting a run time error '1004' (Application defined or object

simple piece of the code. Below is the section of code that is causing
a problem.

Do Until (Count = 40)

If Trade.FormulaR1C1 = "" Then
Set Trade = Trade.Offset(2, 0)
Count = Count + 1
Else: Workbooks(file2).Activate
Set tag2 = Range("A1")
Do Until tag2.FormulaR1C1 = foldername
Set tag2 = tag2.Offset(1, 0) <----- This is the problem
Loop
Set YTD2 = tag2.Offset(0, Column)
YTD2.Copy
Monitor.Activate
YTD3.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone,
SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Set Trade = Trade.Offset(2, 0)
Set YTD3 = Trade.Offset(1, 2)
Count = Count + 1
End If

Loop

If this is not enough information to get help, I apologize. I've
tested the macro by tweaking the code and it opens the second work book
fine, and will select a range just fine, it seems to be specifically
the "offset" that is causing the problem. I am truly at a loss here,
this seems to be such an innocuous piece of code to be causing a
problem.

Thanks in advance.
