Dear Expert,
In the past, I asked for activating the workbook with keywords ... The fact is that my system generated file has a date at the end .. StockPricing_21May09.xls FXPricing_21May09.xls BondPricing_21May09.xls Can't activate that file with fixed scripts ... Besides, do not want to use inputbox to input the file one by one very day ........ One expert has taught me as follows. ActivateBookwithKeyword ("StockPrice") Sub ActivateBookwithKeyword(strSearch As String) For intTemp = 1 To Workbooks.Count If InStr(1, Workbooks(intTemp).Name, strSearch, 1) < 0 Then Workbooks(intTemp).Activate Exit Sub End If Next End Sub But I found if there are too many or using too much ActivateBookwithKeyword, Excel will halt with error. Usually, it stops at somewhere unusal. Even it stops at selecting a sheet which I can swear the sheet should be there ... Sheets("Conso").Select Must the scripts above be used for 1 or 2 wokbooks only ? Would more than 3 or 4 will windows by using activekeywords be failed ? Do the file sequence (files being opened) matter please ? Thanks |
