Simon, thanks for your reply.

Yes, the workbook is open and it turns out to be a different problem. Take a
look at my identical posting of a few moments earlier. When I first posted, I
got an error saying the my post had failed due to a system problem, so I
re-posted. Got the error again!! I gave up and when I checked back BOTH
messages had actually posted.

Code:
--------------------

Dim days As Variant
Dim hours As Variant
Dim holOptElig As Variant
Dim wb As Workbook
Set wb = Workbooks("Salary and Hourly Summary 2009.xls")
days = wb.Names("MikeNbrHolidays").Value
hours = wb.Names("MikeTotalHolHours").Value
If days 0 Then
holOptElig = hours / days <== error on this statement
End If

--------------------

In "Salary and Hourly Summary 2009.xls", MikeNbrHolidays and
MikeTotalHolHours are formatted as number/0 decimal places and
number/1 decimal places respectively, and their values are 8 and
43.2. When I run this code I get run time error 13, type mismatch. I
tried a couple different type for these variables and nothing seems
to help.

TIA,

Phil
