I wrote a macro in XP to import data from one excel file
to another excel. The macro runs fine in XP but I keep
getting this error in 2000.

Run-time error 438
Object doesn't support this property or method.

When I click debug it takes me to this line of code:

..SourceDataFile = "E:\filepath\filename.xls"

There are a number of methods which are not available in 97. This is likely
one of them.

Lynn,

The SourceDataFile property was added in Excel 2002. It doesn't
exist in earlier versions. If you need to support earlier
versions, you can't use SourceDataFile.

It works now. I removed the line of code causing the
error. I recorded the macro and it wrote the line of code
but the macro runs without it so I am not sure what that
line was for.
