A simple code opening 1st worksheet from user-identified spreadsheet - lines enclosed in < can be retained or omitted

Dim fd As FileDialog
Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
If fd.Show = -1 Then
FAOfficeFile = fd.SelectedItems(1)
<Workbooks.Open Filename:=FAOfficeFile, ReadOnly:=True
Dim FAOfficeSheet As Worksheet
<Debug.Print Workbooks(FAOfficeFile).Worksheets.Count
Set FAOfficeSheet = Workbooks(FAOfficeFile).Worksheets(1)
End If

gets 'Subscript out of range' error message at Set FAOfficeSheet = line <or Debug.Print line. Could someone please suggest me the solution?

Thank you very much.

Workbooks(FAOfficeFile)

The Workbooks method expects the name of the file only, not the full path
and name. I might suggest using just:

Set FAOfficeSheet = Worksheets(1)

since the opened workbook would be active (unless the workbook was hidden.

Another alternative:

Sub a()
Dim fd As FileDialog
Dim FAOfficeFile As String
Dim FAOfficeSheet As Worksheet
Dim FAOfficeWB As Workbook
Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
If fd.Show = -1 Then
FAOfficeFile = fd.SelectedItems(1)
Set FAOfficeWB = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=FAOfficeFile,
ReadOnly:=True)
Set FAOfficeSheet = FAOfficeWB.Worksheets(1)
End If
End Sub
