Default Open Text Method Fails

Yes, it continues to break on the opentext line. The filename is obtained
from the user selection in the file dialog.

Could I add a new workbook and then reference the new workbook in the open
text method?

Is it breaking on the same line? What is the filename?

Usually from a webbrowser you need to reference thisworkbook if it is
breaking elsewhere in the code.

Thanks Joel.

I changed the code and despite the change, the code continues to break when
I attempt to execute the file from within a web broswer. If I open the Excel
file native to Excel then the code works like a charm.

Thanks,
Mike

This is all you really need. the other part of the code is probably creating
the errors.


Workbooks.OpenText Filename:=fname, _
DataType:=xlDelimited, _
TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, _
Other:=True, OtherChar:="|", _
TrailingMinusNumbers:=True

Hello,

I have an excel file hosted from a MS Sharepoint site. If a user opens the
file in Excel, the program executes fine. If the user opens the file in a web
browser my program terminates at the below line.

The error message states Run-Time error 1004. Method OpenText of object
workbooks failed.

Workbooks.OpenText Filename:= _
