I am trying to change windows using the following code whereas the name of
the file is located in cell "C27" of the worksheet "Customize":
Windows("" & Sheets("Customize").Range("C27").Value & "").Activate
The code is not working (I've tried several variations). Please Advise.
Thanks.

Windows(Sheets("Customize").Range("C27").Value).Ac tivate
or
Windows(Sheets("Customize").Range("C27").Value & ".xls").Activate

if you don't have .xls on the end of your workbook name.

of course if you are not in the workbook that contains sheet Customize
(assume workbook name is Test.xls)


Dim bk as workbook, bk1 as workbook
Dim sStr as String
set bk = workbooks("Test.xls")
sStr = bk.Worksheets("Customize").Range("C27").Value
if lcase(right(sStr,4)) < ".xls" then
sStr = sStr & ".xls"
end if
On error resume next
set bk1 = Workbooks(sStr)
On Error goto 0
if bk1 is nothing then
msgbox sStr & " is not an existing open workbook"
else
bk1.Activate
End if
