Excel Facts

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
Once again, you might give us a clue as to where the error occurs? Just posting a block of code with no explanation not only doesn't help us to help you, it doesn't really encourage us to try...;)

WBD - Does that account for?

strTextFile = MyFileName & ".txt"

Dir() returns only the file name; not the full path. You need to add the path on to the beginning or add a line near the beginning:

Code:
ChDir MyFolder

Accordingly I have added path (and minimized the code) but still not working !!:laugh:

Please help !!

Code:
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim objFSO, strTextFile, strData, arrLines, LineCount
Dim MyFolder, MyFile, MyFileName As String
Dim i As Integer
Const ForReading = 1
i = 1
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
MyFolder = "D:\TotalCompare"
MyFile = Dir(MyFolder & "\*.txt")
Do While MyFile <> ""
                   strTextFile = MyFolder & "\" & MyFile   'Added the path
                   strData = objFSO.OpenTextFile(strTextFile, ForReading).ReadAll      'Here is the error msg [I][COLOR=#ff0000]Run time error '91': Object variable or Block variable not set[/COLOR][/I]
                   arrLines = Split(strData, vbCrLf)
                   LineCount = UBound(arrLines)
                   Set objFSO = Nothing
            MyFileName = Replace(MyFile, ".txt", "")
            Worksheets(1).Cells(i + 1, 1) = i         'Fist row having heading
            Worksheets(1).Cells(i + 1, 2) = MyFileName
            Worksheets(1).Cells(i + 1, 3) = LineCount
    MyFile = Dir
Loop
