I have a macro which worked fine in excel 2007 and now I have upgraded to 2016 when I attempt to run it fails.

Situation:
I have a macro which gathers information on all the excel files in a directory (including sub directories) and can report the worksheets each file contains. This is set by cell "show sheets" being set to Y. If this cell is set to "N" then the files are not opened and the sheets not reported.
If I run the macro in "N" mode it works. If I put "Y" in that cell it now fails. This suggests the following section of code is being handled differently in 2016 compared to 2007:
Code:
            If Range("show_sheets") = "N" Then
                all_sheets = "chosen not to display"
            Else
                On Error Resume Next 'sets up the "if there's an error from attempting to open a file someone has opened skip"
                Set wbFnd = Workbooks.Open(fileName:=objFile.Path, UpdateLinks:=False, ReadOnly:=True, Notify:=True)
                If Err.Number <> 0 Then
                    all_sheets = "unable to display sheets as file open by someone else"
                Else
                    For Each wSheet In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
                        If all_sheets = "" Then all_sheets = wSheet.Name Else all_sheets = all_sheets & "----" & wSheet.Name
                    Next
                    ActiveWorkbook.Close False
                End If
            End If
            Cells(NextRow, "j").Value = all_sheets
            all_sheets = ""

I cobbled the code together from many sources so it certainly isn't going to be the most elegant :) When it fails I get a dialogue called "data link properties" which has the tabs "Provider", "Connection", "advanced" and "All". It also tends to leave one of the files open which should have been shut and obviously doesn't get to the end of the macro as not all the data has been displayed.

What do I have to change in my code to get the macro working again (i.e. opening the file, reporting the sheets and then closing the file without saving anything and then moving onto the next one).

Many thanks in advance.
