I have it calling B1

I am trying to open a file that has a date in its name. EX Data-20070816.csv

I have the user input the date in one cell (a1) and have a string formula in
another cell (b1).

I keep getting an error when I try to define the variable.


Windows("Data Comparison.xls").Activate
Application.Run "BLPLinkReset"
Sheets("Sheet1").Select

Dim Filename As String
Set Filename = Range("B1").Select

Workbooks.Open Filename:="V:\FTP Data\(Filename)"
