the variable is declared before, I ve just forgotten to write it in the
post !!!

There is nothing wrong with what you have written, but you have
magically created a variable called StrName in your code snippet and
(a) not declared it and (b) not set it - so there MAY be something in
the rest of your code that is actually the fault

Hi everybody,

I would like to know whether I need to add a specific reference in my
vba project in order to be able to use the following kind of command:

dim lfnum as long

lfNum =FreeFile

Open strName &".txt" For Output as lFNum

Because by default whenI do that it is not recognized and the
compilation cannot be done

thans in advance for your answer
