Hi,

I want to set a string variable to the workbook name.

Dim MainWkbook as string
Set MainWkbook = ThisWorkbook
Windows(MainWkbook).Activate

This does not work?
 

Excel Facts

Round to nearest half hour?
Use =MROUND(A2,"0:30") to round to nearest half hour. Use =CEILING(A2,"0:30") to round to next half hour.
"Set" is only used when setting Objects, not Strings.
You need to declare it as a Workbook object.

Try this:
VBA Code:
Dim MainWkbook As Workbook
Set MainWkbook = ThisWorkbook
MainWkbook.Activate
