Hey-

Thanks for all your help. I was able to figure how how it was done by
playing around with the codes. Thanks.

Hey guys-

I need a macro to open a file in a separate window so that I can view
the
current file and the new file side by side. My current macro is
opening the
file within the same window. I also need a message box that will say
"Can
not file file" if the macro cannot find the file. My current macro
opens the
message box regardless if if finds the file or not. Can someone
help???????????!!!!!!!!!!!1
