Hey all!
I'm trying to rework an excel file/"tool" that hasn't been updated in ~5 years or so. It's to track missing timecard punches for our co-workers. We use KRONOS as our timekeeping platform. We export a "Punch Origin" report that is then pulled into this tool via a macro button. I had a lot of issues getting that file to export and save correctly, but I finally got that bit worked out.

Now, when I click the macro button to import this file, I get a "Run-time error '52': Bad file name or number" error.

When I click "debug," it opens the VBA code and this is what it looks like:

I know next to nothing about VBA and macros. I checked the file location, it's in the same folder as the workbook I'm working in and named correctly (I changed the exported name of "Punch Origin" to "OpenReport").

Any ideas on what, if anything, I can do to get this to work?

Better if you copied the code from that procedure and pasted it in a post - please use code tags to maintain readability (vba button on posting toolbar). It might then become obvious or at least people will be able to ask questions. The error message is fairly straight forward though.
Or, when it stops there, type in the immediate window at the bottom:
?Len(ThisWorkbook.Path & "\OpenReport.xml" hit enter and see if it looks properly formatted and matches your file path. In fact, copy the resulting output into Windows File Explorer and see if it takes you there.

Hey Micron! Thanks for the reply!

Is this better? The error is in the second line of the code.

VBA Code: 
Application.StatusBar = "Formatting the Report"
    If Len(Dir(ThisWorkbook.Path & "\OpenReport.xml")) = 0 Then
        MsgBox (ThisWorkbook.Path & "\OpenReport.xml" & " does not exist.  Please check the file location and try again")
        Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
        Application.ScreenUpdating = True
        Application.DisplayAlerts = True
        Application.EnableEvents = True
        Application.StatusBar = ""
        Exit Sub
    End If
    Set Wkbook = Workbooks.Open(ThisWorkbook.Path & "/OpenReport.xml")

My apologies, I don't understand what you mean about typing in the immediate window at the bottom. Is this supposed to be the bottom of the debug window?

That only shows anyone the same code you posted. I was looking for the whole procedure but nice use of the code tags.
Re immediate window - it's labeled as such:

then there is Google when you don't understand a term. Good practice to do that (I think) as you'll always learn more than the response you get.

Also, have you declared the Path as string
AND
Have you created a variable for Path, eg
VBA Code: 
Path= C:\Users\...
