Open files in the same directory
At this moment I use something like:
Set RptWkbk = Workbooks.Open(Filename:="Y:\ALL_USERS\Username\St atistics\Department 01\Individual Report.XLS") I have another file open in the same directory that does the above and that works wonders. However I would like it to point to the file with the name "Individual Report.XLS", but without the drive and such, so I can send it to people who are on a different machine. I tried the following, but it did not work: Set RptWkbk = Workbooks.Open(Filename:="Individual Report.XLS") Probably prety basic stuff, but I can't seem to figure it out. houghi -- Let's not be too tough on our own ignorance.

Can you make sure that the workbook is in the same folder as the workbook
running the code: Set RptWkbk = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=thisworkbook.path & "\" & _ "Individual Report.XLS") or if you know that file is in the same workbook that is currently active Set RptWkbk = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=activeworkbook.path & "\" & _ "Individual Report.XLS") houghi wrote: At this moment I use something like: Set RptWkbk = Workbooks.Open(Filename:="Y:\ALL_USERS\Username\St atistics\Department 01\Individual Report.XLS") I have another file open in the same directory that does the above and that works wonders.
