referring to worksheet
 

Karen,

Does the strsheetname value have the ".xls" extension? It should if it
doesn't.

Why would I get a "subscript out of range" error on the following?

? workbooks(strsheetname).Sheets.Count

This is within a procedure where strsheetName is a string variable passed
in
that is the name of the workbook.

Thanks.
