I have written a simple macro that opens a .csv file, copies the data
from the file and pastes them in another worksheet, then closes the .csv
file. The macro works perfectly when I step through the code one step at
a time. But when I try to run it normally, it stops after I open the
..csv file. I get no error messages, it just quits with my cursor in cell
A1 of the .csv file. The code is below with a few comment lines that
show you where the error seems to happen.

Thanks for any help you can give me.
