The 3 files myfile1 myfile2 and myfile3 are all text files. I have to open
them in order to get the values updated on anotheropenfile.xls. This part
was added as well as application.screenupdating true/false. The macro ran
fine before but now I get an error: "Automation Error Exception Occurred" and
Excel shuts down. I can take out screenupdating true/false and it works some
better but still shuts down occasionally. Reading the NG it seems as though
that adding DoEvents may help, but I am unsure as how to do this. Can some
one please advise?
Thanks!
