Help!

Trying to open a file using vba and then go back to original file that holds the code below. Ultimately trying to do a vlookup using two workbooks but can't get past this point.

Getting an object required error and stops at last line of this code:

Sub Format()
'
' Format Macro
'
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
ws.Visible = True
Next ws
Dim wBook As Workbook

ChDir "C:\Users\Allison Montgomery\Documents\Brown Dog Consulting\John Reed"

Set wBook = Workbooks.Open(Filename:= _
"C:\Users\Allison Montgomery\Documents\Brown Dog Consulting\John Reed\Master REFERENCE.xls")
ThisWorbook.Activate

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"

Does this help any?

Code:
Sub arkbdc()
'
' Format Macro
'
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim CurrentWorkbook As Workbook

Set CurrentWorkbook = ThisWorkbook

For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
ws.Visible = True
Next ws
Dim wBook As Workbook

ChDir "C:\Users\Allison Montgomery\Documents\Brown Dog Consulting\John Reed"

Set wBook = Workbooks.Open(Filename:= _
"C:\Users\Allison Montgomery\Documents\Brown Dog Consulting\John Reed\Master REFERENCE.xls")
CurrentWorkbook.Activate


End Sub
