Code:
Public SaveName as String

Set y = Workbooks.Open("C:\A\B\C\ & SaveName & ".xlsx")

Very small question please...how does one get around the "period" when concatenating the above? Because the above returns an error because of it.

Thank you :)

If you have a numeric keypad, press Alt+7 on numeric keypad to type a bullet in Excel.
What 'period' are you referring to?

As far as I can see the only one in the posted code is in the literal string '.xlsx' and that's part of the file extension.

Do you have a period in SaveName?

oops sorry...i meant in the ".xlsx"

are you saying that it is fine and not the source of the error? because thats the assumption i have been working on
