Hi all
I have made a macro in order to extract all the rows containing
dashboard.
but when I run it I have a problem at
Workbooks(strCurrentOrigFileExt).Activate (where I've written Problem
HERE) as a comment it says runtime error 9
anyone knows why?

tell me if you need more info
thanks

Looks like...
Workbooks(strCurrentOrigFileExt).Activate
Should be...
Workbooks(strCurrentOrigFile).Activate

Also, enter Option Explicit as the first line in your module and see what happens.
