Unable to read file
 

Hi,
In VBA I have this line
Workbooks.Open sAFMAPathName & sFileName

when in auto it gives a error message 'Unable to read file' when I single
step (F8), it works fine.
This section of the code comes from another excel VBA code block which works
fine, if a bit slow.

Thanks

If it works fine when stepping through then most likely there is some delay
in creating or releasing the file you're trying to open.
Where does it come from ?

Hi Tim,

Do the files which give problems fail consistently ?

Yes Its always the same ones but opening them and resaving them doesn't help

Without seeing the code it's hard to say exactly what the problem might be.
Try putting a small delay before opening each file and see if that fixes it.

Hi Tim,
Have tried a 10 second delay no improvement

Do While iFilesUsedCounter < 9
' Open AFMA WorkBook
sFileName = AFMAFiles(iFileCounter).sFileName
Debug.Print sAFMAPathName & sFileName
Workbooks.Open sAFMAPathName & sFileName
Cells.Select
Selection.Copy
ThisWorkbook.Activate
Sheets("AFMA Loader").Select
Cells.Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Selection.Copy
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:= _
False, Transpose:=False
Windows(sFileName).Activate
Application.CutCopyMode = False 'Clear Clipboard
ActiveWindow.Close saveChanges:=False

some other stuff to put it in the right place do it again until we have a
complete set

If you comment out all the copy/paste stuff can you just open and close the
files in a loop ?
Might help to simplify the situation for debugging.

You do have two different counters, right? iFilesUsedCounter and
iFileCounter ?
