Hello, I have a two excel workbooks, one (Workbook A) which is designed with a macro to pull in info from the other (Workbook B). Recently someone made changes to Workbook A that prevent the linking from occurring, but I do not know what they did. The VBA is identical to the an older version of the program which still works, so I assume the change exists on one of its worksheets. Since Workbook A is a massive program, (which is while it got separated from Workbook B as it slowed down Workbook B when they were one program a while ago) I assume it'd take forever to find the change.

The code in question is:

<code>
Sub LinkWorkbookB_Click()


Dim filename As Variant
Dim equals As String





Worksheets("Inputs").Unprotect

'Turn off Automatic Calculation
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual

' MsgBox "ThisWorkbook path is : " & ThisWorkbook.Path
filename = Application.GetOpenFilename()
If filename = False Then Exit Sub
' Range("ThisWorkbookPath") = ThisWorkbook.Path
Range("MechanicalProgramName") = filename






Range("AccelerationTime") = "='" & filename & "'!AccelerationTime"

</code>

Then are hundreds are variables that are linked, I only included the first one as that is the line that breaks, giving the "Run-time 1004: Method 'Range' of object '_Worksheet' failed" message. Any ideas?
 

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
Do you have a named range called AccelerationTime?
