Excel settings
 

To all,

I wrote some code in an excel file that was on my network drive which
works perfectly for me. However, when a colleague tries to use the
file the program is halted because of a subscript error. This is the
line where the problem occurs:

Application.Workbooks("Loss Reduction Worksheet -
Working").Sheets("Switchboard").Activate

At this point in the program, a new excel file is created and
information is taken for the original document and analyzed in the new
document.

I never have any problems with the program which leads me to believe
that I must have changed the settings or loaded an add-in on my excel
application which my colleague hasn't done. But for the life of me, I
can't figure out how adjust my colleagues settings so that the program
works (that is if that is the case).

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Peter

Excel settings
 

You should include the 'xls' extension on the workbook name.

Application.Workbooks("Loss Reduction Worksheet - Working"). _
Sheets("Switchboard").Activate

should be

Application.Workbooks("Loss Reduction Worksheet - Working.xls").
_
Sheets("Switchboard").Activate

Whether the xls extension is required is based on a Windows
Explorer setting. It is always safe to include it.
