Hi i am getting a type mismatch error when trying to open the workbook at the set wbk line, not sure why i am getting this error
VBA Code:
Dim FNames As Variant
Dim Cnt As Long
Dim Wbk As Workbook
Dim MstWbk As Workbook
Dim Ws As Worksheet

Set MstWbk = ThisWorkbook
   
FNames = Application.GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:="Excel files (*.xls*), *.xls*", MultiSelect:=True)
If Not IsArray(FNames) Then Exit Sub
Set Wbk = Workbooks.Open(FNames)
Wbk.Worksheets("Payment").Range("M6:BW6").Copy
Wbk.Close False
 

Excel Facts

Select a hidden cell
Somehide hide payroll data in column G? Press F5. Type G1. Enter. Look in formula bar while you arrow down through G.
If you're only going to open one file, then use this:

VBA Code:
Sub testopen()
  Dim FNames As Variant
  Dim Cnt As Long
  Dim Wbk As Workbook
  Dim MstWbk As Workbook
  Dim Ws As Worksheet
  
  Set MstWbk = ThisWorkbook
     
  FNames = Application.GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:="Excel files (*.xls*), *.xls*", MultiSelect:=False)
  If FNames = False Then Exit Sub
  Set Wbk = Workbooks.Open(FNames)
  Wbk.Worksheets("Payment").Range("M6:BW6").Copy
  Wbk.Close False
  '
  '
End Sub
