Err 1004 when move Workbooks.OpenText to called Sub
I am trying to tidy up some VBA code by putting it in a Called Sub
When I use Workbooks.Opentext in the original code as for example sFilename = sPath & "F59080" sWbookname = sPath & "x80G01.xls" Workbooks.OpenText FileName:=sFilename, _ Origin:=xlWindows, _ StartRow:=1, DataType:=xlFixedWidth, FieldInfo:= _ Array(Array(0, 1), Array(2, 2), Array(27, 2), Array(137, 2), Array(150, 2)) It works. But if I put it in a called Sub as Sub texToWB(Wb As String, Textfile As String, Arr As String, GrpId As String) If Dir(Textfile) < "" Then Workbooks.OpenText FileName:=Textfile, _ Origin:=xlWindows, _ DataType:=xlFixedWidth, FieldInfo:=Array(Arr) Else MsgBox Textfile & " doesn't exist" End If It fails with Error 1004. I am running Office 2003 and Windows XP |

Err 1004 when move Workbooks.OpenText to called Sub
Hello Sue, The problem is with passing the array. In your Sub you're passing it a a String. The Array must be a Variant. I have highlighted the problem i red. Sub texToWB(Wb As String, Textfile As String, Arr As String, GrpId A String) Change it to read... Sub texToWB(Wb As String, Textfile As String, Arr As Variant, GrpId A String -- Leith Ros ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Leith Ross's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=1846 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?threadid=47820 |

Thanks for taking the trouble to answer. Once I understood that I needed to
pass the Field Info, defining it as an Array held in variant datatype it all fell into place and now works fine "Leith Ross" wrote: Hello Sue, The problem is with passing the array.
