Open existing file
I am trying to open existing files in Excel. I am using the GetOpenFilename
method to select the files. Sub SelectBookToOpen() Dim FileToOpen As Variant Dim MyPath As String Dim Wb As Workbook MyPath = "T:\Archive" ChDrive "T" ChDir MyPath FileToOpen = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel Files (*.xls), *.xls", , _ "Please select both previous and current weeks' Data Archives", , True) If FileToOpen < False Then Set Wb = Workbooks.Open(FileToOpen) Else Exit Sub End If End Sub Everything works fine until I actually select a file and click Open. Then I get a data mismatch error on this line: If FileToOpen < False Then What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Lee |

Hi FinChase
If the user doesn't select a file, GetOpenFilename returns False (Boolean value). If the user however selects one or more files GetOpenFilename returns an array of variants. Try this: Sub SelectBookToOpen() Dim FileToOpen As Variant Dim MyPath As String Dim Wb As Workbook Dim i As Integer MyPath = "T:\Archive" ChDrive "T" ChDir MyPath FileToOpen = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel Files (*.xls), *.xls", , _ "Please select both previous and current weeks' Data Archives", , True) If VarType(FileToOpen) < vbBoolean Then For i = 1 To UBound(FileToOpen) Set Wb = Workbooks.Open(FileToOpen(i)) Next Else 'User canceled Exit Sub End If End Sub "FinChase" wrote in message ...
