Default Variable causing subscript out of range error

I am trying to saving a file based on the text name in a designated cell in
the workbook. However, with this code, I get an €śsubscript out of range€ť
error. I am running out of ideas. There must be a way to do this! Seems
to be problem with variable.


Thanks for your help.

Windows("fxRM_Update.xls").Activate

Dim bk As Workbook, bk1 As Workbook
Dim sstr As String
Dim path2 As String
path2 = ActiveWorkbook.Path

Set bk = Workbooks("fxRM_update.xls")
sstr = bk.Worksheets("lookup").Range("d39").Value
Set bk1 = Workbooks(sstr) THIS IS WHERE SUBSCRIPT ERROR OCCURS

ActiveWorkbook.SaveCopyAs filename:= bk1
'bk.saveas
'ActiveWorkbook.SaveCopyAs filename:= p & bk1
' ActiveWorkbook.SaveCopyAs filename:=path2 & "\" & bk1

A similar macro works fine:

Sub update4() 'defines user file in fxRM_Update.xls Need to insert this
everytime you reactivate fxRM_Update and want to refer back to user file.

Dim bk As Workbook, bk1 As Workbook
Dim sstr As String

Set bk = Workbooks("fxRM_update.xls")

sstr = bk.Worksheets("lookup").Range("d39").Value

Set bk1 = Workbooks(sstr)


bk1.Activate


End Sub
