Hello

I am new to the forum and was wondering if somebody could help me
We have just been upgraded from Office 2003 to Office 2010. I have some VBA that works fine in Excel 2003 that runs from a command button and opens up a confirm files form where I can choose a MS Project 2010 file which should generate an excel extract. However it hangs after selecting the project file while in the background generating 2 temporary workbooks.

I include all the code but am unsure how to fix it. Thanks

Do you have a reference to the Project Object library?

Excel Facts

Can a formula spear through sheets?
Use =SUM(January:December!E7) to sum E7 on all of the sheets from January through December
Thanks very much for the tips

I have run the code and the "/" in the filename did cause an error. I replaced them both with "\" and the error now occurs at the line
pProj.SaveAs Name:=sTmp2Excel, Format:=pjXLS, Map:="CPExportMap"

BTW..The export map does exist[

Any thoughts please?

QUOTE=CharlesChuckieCharles;3713958]the immediate window normally a blank pane below the code window if it's not there use menu View/Immediate window or Ctrl+G

step through in the same manner as to debug

when you're past

it will show you the content of the variable which you can copy and paste into mrexcel
