ChangeLink Command Not Working
I have a situation where I am copying files from a "common files" folder into
individual folders. Then I have to change the links to refer to the newly copied files within each folder. I keep getting "Runtime error '1004' Method 'ChangeLink' of object '_Workbook' failed" It doesn't seem to matter whether I use absolute addresses or variables. I've tried the following: ActiveWorkbook.ChangeLink Name:= _ "C:\BudDataRun\Common Files\INPUTSHEETABA-GF.xls", NewName:= _ "C:\BudDataRun\Gen Fund Budget\N-E0011\INPUTSHEETABA-GF.xls", Type:= _ xlExcelLinks (The macro recorder used the Name:= and NewName:= labels) 'ActiveWorkbook.ChangeLink "C:\BudDataRun\Common Files\INPUTSHEETABA-GF.xls", _ '"INPUTSHEETABA-GF.xls", xlExcelLinks 'ActiveWorkbook.ChangeLink RootDirectoryName & CommonFolder & ABAFile, _ 'RootDirectoryName & FilePathName & FilePathName2 & ABAFile, xlExcelLinks All variations get the same error message. I'm running on Windows XP if that makes any difference. |

Are any of your worksheets protected?

No. They are all unprotected and I've Changed Directories (ChDir) to the
proper directory as part of the loop. "Dave Peterson" wrote: Are any of your worksheets protected?

Does it work if you do it manually (Edit|links)?
If it works ok, how about recording a macro when you do it there. Maybe it'll help you debug the problem.

I've already tried that. The first sample is the one that the macro
recorded. It worked fine when I did it manually, but when I tried to run it from the program by calling the macro it crashed. "Dave Peterson" wrote: Does it work if you do it manually (Edit|links)?

Is the workbook protected?
I'm out of guesses. Dina wrote: I have a situation where I am copying files from a "common files" folder into individual folders.

Thanks for trying.
I've been working on this for 2 days. I had this (or one like it) working last year on my old computer. I was running Windows 2000. This year I have Windows XP. The only thing I can think of is that there is a conflict. The OS sometimes does wonky things to VBA commands. What forum would I go to for expert help with this kind of conflict?

I'd stay here and see if anybody else could guess.

Did you ever figure this out. I am having the same problem?
