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

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.

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
