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 ? Tim "MarkS" wrote in message ...

Do the files which give problems fail consistently ?

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. Tim. "MarkS" wrote in message ...

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 "Tim Williams" wrote: Without seeing the code it's hard to say exactly what the problem might be.

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 ? Tim "MarkS" wrote in message ...
