I'm going to preface this with I essentially have Frankenstein'd some code together from googling since my VBA skills are very low. Here's what I'm trying to do: I want to go through multiple workbooks (saved in different locations), search a certain column for the word "fail", if it's there I want to copy the 3 cells to the left of the fail and paste that into the original workbook sheet 1. I also want to copy a static cell in each workbook next to what was just pasted into the original workbooks. I then want it to close the workbook I copied from and open the next one (i have about 30 files I need to do this from). I have all the file links in my original workbook currently (hence the "For i" part").

Anyway, I got it to partially work although it didn't continue through all workbooks. Then I messed with it some more and now i'm getting a "Next without For" error.

So any help... is greatly appreciated. thank you!

Code:
Sub Button2_Click()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Set WB1 = ActiveWorkbook
    For i = 7 To 38
    With Workbooks.Open(Range("A" & i))
         Set WB2 = ActiveWorkbook
          Sheets("Tests").Select
              Dim rngFound As Range
              With ActiveSheet.Range("D1:D40")
                   Set rngFound = .Find(What:="Fail", LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)
                  If Not rngFound Is Nothing Then
                rngFound.Offset(0, 3).Activate
               Range(Cells(Selection.Row, 1), Cells(Selection.Row, 3)).Select
                  Selection.Copy
         WB1.Activate
         Sheets("Sheet1").Select
             Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1).Select
                Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
                  :=False, Transpose:=False
         WB2.Activate
             Range("A1").Select
             Application.CutCopyMode = False
              Selection.Copy
        WB1.Activate
              Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1).Select
                Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
                    :=False, Transpose:=False
         WB2.Activate
             ActiveWindow.Close
       Next
    End With


    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

How can you automate Excel?
Press Alt+F11 from Windows Excel to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.
You interlaced two code blocks instead of nesting them. The For-Next is one code block and the With - End With is another. You started the For code block first and then the With code block second, which is fine. But then you have to end the With code block before using the Next statement.

So just swap these two lines of code...

Next
End With
