Run-time error '5': Invalid procedure call or argument; can't resolve

I am trying to get a set of Excel files that are unique by campaign type with pivot tables for geographic regions in separate worksheets to instead be pasted values for each campaign type in separate worksheets in unique geographic region Excel files. I first change the .xlsx files to instead be .xls files (not sure why I had to but my code wouldn't progress otherwise). This works ok, but when proceeding through the list of geographic regions (range in Zones files), if a non-match is found for one of the campaign types (i.e., campaign not run in that geography), then the code errors out on the fn = Dir line. To mitigate this error, I tried changing the method to instead create a filename to store each geography (as in https://www.experts-exchange.com/qu...g-Dir-Invalid-procedure-call-or-argument.html), but I ran into another problem). Any help would be appreciated. I guess I can always re-do my overall work design, but I thought this wouldn't be that tough. Now, I'm just frustrated and want the issue resolved. Please educate me - Thanks!

Excel Facts

Fastest way to copy a worksheet?
Hold down the Ctrl key while dragging tab for Sheet1 to the right. Excel will make a copy of the worksheet.
[TABLE="width: 660"]
<tbody>[TR="class: comment js-comment"]
[TD="class: comment-text js-comment-text-and-form"]I ended up working with the RDB Merge Add-In and some different VBA to get what I needed done[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
