LogList = "RA LogFiles.xls"

Windows(LogList).Activate
Sheets("Sheet1").Activate
Range("oldplanfile").Select
On Error GoTo ErrHandle

Do
set wbk = nothing
SourceBook = filepath & ActiveCell & ".xls"
OutputBook = filepath & ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1) & ".xls"
on error resume next
set wbk = Workbooks.Open (SourceBook), UpdateLinks:=0
On Error GoTo ErrHandle

if wbk is nothing then
Windows(LogList).Activate
Sheets("ErrLog").Select
ActiveCell.Offset(R1, C0).Select
ActiveCell.Formula = "ERROR - " & SourceBook & " not found"
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
MsgBox (SourceBook & " not found - Details recorded on Errlog - Click
OK to resume macro")
else
With wbk
..SaveAs (OutputBook)
..Close
End With
end if

ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Loop Until IsEmpty(ActiveCell.Value)

Windows(LogList).Activate
Sheets("ErrLog").Select
exit sub

ErrHandle:
MsgBox (Err.Number & " " & Err.Description)
Exit Sub
End If

End Sub

Also note that most of your variables are of type variant and not string as
you probably believe. Check out this link...

I'm trying to rename a list of files held in an excel workbook. Column
A (a named range called "oldplanfile") holds part of the current file
name. Column B holds the corresponding part of the new file name.
Running the code traps the first error but throws up a warning ("Run-
time error '1004': <SourceBook could not be found.") when it hits a
second missing file.

Any suggestions/help would be appreciated.
