instead of
tbFile.value = File_Name

you could put
cbStart_Click File_Name
adding the name as a string parameter

you don't say what tbFile is, so I'd guess its a range object( ie a cell)
so
windows("tbFile").
doesn't make sense

and your
Workbooks.Open (tbFile)
maybe should be
(if file_name IS NOT passed you need
File_Name = tbFile.Value
)

Workbooks.Open (File_Name)
