File name extension
Below is a sub routine that worked great on my machine but when I gave it to a user, I would get a subscript out or range error. This was due to not having the .xls extension in the wbname variable or in the windows ( ) activate piece of the code. When calling a file does it always need the ..xls extension? Sub See_Vendor() x = ActiveWorkbook.Name wbname = "Current Vendors.xls" <<<<<<<<<<<<========= Call WorkbookIsOpen(wbname) If Err < 0 Then Workbooks.Open Filename:="s:\finance\acct-gl\current vendors.xls" End If Windows("current vendors.xls").Activate <<<<<<<<<<<<<============ For Each n In ActiveWorkbook.Names n.Delete Next n Range("a2").Select Top = ActiveCell.Address Selection.End(xlDown).Select ActiveCell.Offset(0, 3).Select bottom = ActiveCell.Address Worksheets("Sheet1").Range(Top, bottom).Name = "Vendor" Load Vendor_Lookup Windows(x).Activate Vendor_Lookup.Show End Sub |

File name extension
You show these lines of code... x = ActiveWorkbook.Name wbname = "Current Vendors.xls" However, the x variable is not used in the rest of your code... was the assignment to wbname supposed to be x or is it a hard-coded value you user types in? If you were supposed to be assigning x, then it should have the xls extension IF the workbook has been saved at least once. So, I'll assume the problem is because the xls extension was not provided by your user. If you don't think you can impress upon him/her the importance of providing the extension, then you can have your code do it for them. Just add this line of code after the wbname assignment statement... If LCase(Left(wbname, 4)) < ".xls" Then wbname = wbname & ".xls" -- Rick (MVP - Excel) "Dan" wrote in message ...

See http://www.cpearson.com/excel/FileExtensions.aspx for a great deal of info about the significance of the file extension and the "Hide Extensions For Known File Types" Windows setting.
