Import multiple files macro can't find files
 

I recently wrote a macro which imported 36 files into the
same MSWord document. It worked fine when the day I
wrote it, but today ithe error message "file can't be
found" appears. And now, just as I began writing this,
the Macro began working again. Said Macro is below.
What determines where the macro looks for these files
(which folder/directory?)

Import multiple files macro can't find files
 

Steven.

... you didn't write it you recorded it... :)

and it could be done a bit simpler.

Sub Insert36()
Dim sFldr as String
Dim i as Integer

If msgbox ("will read from folder " & vba.curdir) < vbOk then exit sub
For i = 1 to 36
Selection.InsertFile FileName:= Format(i,"00")
Next

End Sub
