Type Mismatch Error when using InputBox Method
 
I'm getting a Type Mismatch error and the macro stops at Set myDir (see ERROR
below). Since I'm using a string of numbers, letters and symbols, I

thought I would select the type as 2 for text. Please help!

Dim myCell, myRange, myDir, myDateTime
Set myRange = Application.InputBox(prompt:="Enter a Range", Type:=8)
ERROR Set myDir = Application.InputBox(prompt:="Enter File Location",
Default:="U:\CC EB 500 Reports\mmddyy\", Type:=2)
Set myDateTime = Application.InputBox(prompt:="Enter Date and Time",
Default:="mm/dd/yy hh:mm am", Type:=2)
Windows("PERSONAL.XLS").Visible = True
Workbooks("Personal.xls").Activate
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
For Each myCell In myRange
Workbooks.Open Filename:=myFile.Text & myCell.Value
