I have this code that is run once a command button is clicked:

Code:
Sub cmdSend()
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Application.EnableEvents = False
    Dim desWS As Worksheet, srcWS As Worksheet, clientWB As Workbook
        Set srcWS = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("NPSS_quote_sheet")
        Set desWS = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Costing_tool")
        Set clientWB = "Client_list.xlsm"
                
    Dim lastRow1 As Long, lastRow2 As Long
    Dim i As Long, x As Long, header As Range
        lastRow1 = srcWS.Range("B" & srcWS.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
        lastRow2 = desWS.Range("A:A").Find("*", searchorder:=xlByRows, searchdirection:=xlPrevious).Row
    With srcWS.Range("A:A,B:B,H:H")
        If lastRow2 < 5 Then
            lastRow2 = 5
            For i = 1 To .Areas.Count
                x = .Areas(i).Column
                Set header = desWS.Rows(4).Find(.Areas(i).Cells(10), LookIn:=xlValues, lookat:=xlWhole)
                If Not header Is Nothing Then
                    srcWS.Range(srcWS.Cells(11, x), srcWS.Cells(lastRow1, x)).Copy
                    desWS.Cells(lastRow2, header.Column).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
                End If
            Next i
            With desWS
                If .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row > 5 Then
                    desWS.ListObjects.Item("tblCosting").ListRows.Add
                End If
                .Range("D" & lastRow2 & ":D" & .Range("A:A").Find("*", searchorder:=xlByRows, searchdirection:=xlPrevious).Row) = srcWS.Range("G7")
                .Range("F" & lastRow2 & ":F" & .Range("A:A").Find("*", searchorder:=xlByRows, searchdirection:=xlPrevious).Row) = srcWS.Range("B7")
                .Range("G" & lastRow2 & ":G" & .Range("A:A").Find("*", searchorder:=xlByRows, searchdirection:=xlPrevious).Row) = srcWS.Range("B6")
            End With
        Else
            lastRow2 = desWS.Range("A:A").Find("*", searchorder:=xlByRows, searchdirection:=xlPrevious).Row
            desWS.ListObjects.Item("tblCosting").ListRows.Add
            For i = 1 To .Areas.Count
                x = .Areas(i).Column
                Set header = desWS.Rows(4).Find(.Areas(i).Cells(10), LookIn:=xlValues, lookat:=xlWhole)
                If Not header Is Nothing Then
                    srcWS.Range(srcWS.Cells(11, x), srcWS.Cells(lastRow1, x)).Copy
                    desWS.Cells(lastRow2 + 1, header.Column).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
                End If
            Next i
            With desWS
                .Range("D" & lastRow2 + 1 & ":D" & .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row) = srcWS.Range("G7")
                .Range("F" & lastRow2 + 1 & ":F" & .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row) = srcWS.Range("B7")
                .Range("G" & lastRow2 + 1 & ":G" & .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row) = srcWS.Range("B6")
            End With
        End If
    End With
    desWS.ListObjects("tblCosting").Sort.SortFields.Clear
    desWS.ListObjects("tblCosting").Sort.SortFields. _
        Add Key:=desWS.Cells(, 1), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:= _
        xlAscending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal
    With desWS.ListObjects("tblCosting").Sort
        .header = xlYes
        .MatchCase = False
        .Orientation = xlTopToBottom
        .SortMethod = xlPinYin
        .Apply
    End With
    With Application
        .CutCopyMode = False
        .EnableEvents = True
        .ScreenUpdating = True
    End With
    Dim oLst As ListObject
        Dim lr As Long, rng As Range
        lr = desWS.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
        For i = lr To 4 Step -1
            Set rng = desWS.Cells(i, 1)
            If WorksheetFunction.CountBlank(rng) = 1 Then
                desWS.Rows(i).Delete
            End If
        Next i
    
    srcWS.Range("G7").Copy Destination
    
End Sub

The problem is that I get a type mismatch error when I try to run it with the "client_list.xlsm" highlighted from the top of the code, from the line of code
Code:
Set clientWB = "Client_list.xlsm"

What have I left out?
 

Excel Facts

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
Probably just need the full path. Like, Set clientWB = "C:\Users\UserName\Desktop\Client_list.xlsm"

The code is passing a string to a workbook variable.
If the workbook is not opened, try:
Code:
[COLOR=#333333]Set clientWB = [/COLOR] = Workbooks.Open(filename:=[COLOR=#333333]"C:\FULL-PATH\Client_list.xlsm"[/COLOR])
If the file is open then:
Code:
[COLOR=#333333]Set clientWB = [/COLOR] = Workbooks([COLOR=#333333]"Client_list.xlsm"[/COLOR])
