Hi,

If you use an on error goto statement something like this might work better

For i = 1 To 129


On Error Resume Next
Workbooks.Open Filename:="" & aPath & "\" & saleId(a) & "-Deduction.xls"
If Err = 0 Then
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
"" & bPath & "\" & saleId(a) & "-Deduction-" & newName & ".xls" _
, FileFormat:=xlExcel8, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", _
ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, CreateBackup:=False
ActiveWorkbook.Close
Else
Err = 0
End If

a = a + 1
Next i

However, I haven't tested to see if you can trap this error this way.
