Filename contains extension


BookName = Mid(Fname, InStrRev(Fname, "/") + 1)


In the above line Mid returns from last "/" to end of Fname.


Suggestion:


BookName = Mid(Fname, InStrRev(Fname, "/") + 1,InStr(Fname,".xls")-
InStrRev(Fname, "/") -1)


Pls confirm.


Nope, that gives me the file name, but without the ".xls". *So, i
simply concatenated a ".xls" onto the end. *Now, I have the file name
and the extension, but it STILL WON'T SAVE. *I can't figure it out!!

Error is still on this line:
Set wb = Workbooks(Index:=BookName)

Error mssg is 'subscript out of range'.

Any thoughts?


Got it working!! I had some help from a colleague in my office.
Thanks Mandeep!!
