Hi,
I am creating a macro where the user will choose the xls file to open. I then want to activate that file, but am having some trouble figuring out how to write code to specify which workbook to activate since the user will choose the workbook and therefore I don't know it beforehand. Here is the code so far: Dim fileToOpen Dim fileName fileToOpen = Application _ .GetOpenFilename("Microsoft Excel Files (*.xls), *.xls") Workbooks.Open fileName:=fileToOpen 'Workbooks("*****").Activate I am not sure what to put where the asteriks are in the last line of code. I was thinking of finding the filename in the file path by using the InStrRev to find where the \ is and take the name between the \ and .xls, such as InStrRev(fileToOpen, "\") However, I thought there might be a better way that I don't know about. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks! Ashley |
