I have VB code to basically wipe out old data in a reporting workbook, open up new sources of data from either an Excel file that is pre-loaded or a text file, and then copy the new data to my reporting workbook. Sounds easy and I think my code is correct with exception of the fact that it hangs up after opening the 1st file (Excel). The oddity is that the code executes fine as long as I step through it or run it within the MS VB editor. I've included the 1st section to keep it short.

I use a lot of range finding to find variating range sizes in my imported data sets so I know it looks somewhat choppy but I'll clean that up later. My biggest concern is in keeping the code flowing once it opens up the workbook "F:\ACCTG\ACCTGEN\Monarch\RptFiles\GL_404DTL.X LS". Would appreciate any comments and wondering if it might require some type of PUBLIC dimensioning for the code to work on all open workbooks. Thank you
