I see a couple of possible problems.
For this: WorkFile = Dir(myPath & "*.CSV") Make sure that myPath has a "\" at the end Also change this Workbooks.Open Filename:=myPath & WorkFile to this Set oWB = Workbooks.Open Filename:=myPath & WorkFile And do all your action on oWB -- HTH, Barb Reinhardt "Dave" wrote: I have tried to amend this macro to use myself but its not working. can anyone see why this would not be working? i am trying to open a folder 'folderName' and loop through, converting all csv files to xls files. thanks, dave Sub CSVToXls() Dim folderName As String folderName = GetFolderName("Select a folder") If folderName = "" Then MsgBox "You Didn't Select A Folder."
