using cell value to open file
It's been several years since I've been on this site, boy have things
changed. I posted a few days ago and lost it somewhere, so I'm going to try again. I have a sheet listing job numbers, addresses, names, etc. I have a budget for each job saved as separate files with the job number in the file name. I would like to be able to click on any job number in my list, and have it open the corresponding budget file. Any ideas. Thanks for the help. |

Try this code. Change folder as required
Sub OpenJobFile() Folder = "C:\temp" JobNumber = ActiveCell.Value FName = Dir(Folder & "\*" & JobNumber & "*.xls") If FName = "" Then MsgBox ("Cannot find file : " & Folder & "\*" & JobNumber & "*.xls") Else Workbooks.Open Filename:=Folder & "\" & FName End If End Sub "ward376" wrote: You could make them hyperlinks...

That looks great, I'll try it. Here's another issue.
The job numbers are grouped by subdivsion, so if I have job numbers in SubDivRange1 or SubDivRange2, etc., how do I find the range name so I can include that name in the file path with the job number?

Not sure if this is the best method, but it works. Use intersect to
determine if cell is in the range of each name in the workbook. RangeName = "" For Each nm In ActiveWorkbook.Names NameAddr = nm.RefersToRange.Address If Not Intersect(Range(NameAddr), ActiveCell) Is Nothing Then RangeName = nm.Name Exit For End If Next nm If RangeName < "" Then 'enter your code here End If "Doug" wrote: That looks great, I'll try it.
