Hi Guys,

I have a Excel file which has a macro to open multiple spreadsheets based on the location specified within macro.

I used this file (and macro) for about a year and it was all good until we migrated to Windows 10 and Office 365.
All other macros seem to be fine but the most important one doesn't work.

I tried to use the below methods to open the other excel file:
Workbooks.Open ("C:\Users\81088836\Desktop\Book 1.xlsx")

Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"H:\Group\R&D\CP&I RD158\Develop\General\Technical Resource Planning - input files\Packaging.xlsm"

Can you please advise what is the problem and how I can fix it.

Thank you
Jakub
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Sort by date Sort by votes
The first thing I would do is go out to Windows Explorer and verify those two paths still exist, as they are written. Sometimes migrating to different version changes up the folder structures, especially on your C drive.

So check to see if you can browse to the following locations from that computer:
C:\Users\81088836\Desktop\
H:\Group\R&D\CP&I RD158\Develop\General\Technical Resource Planning - input files\

That's the first thing I've checked, unfortunately it must be something else, I can browse both locations.

What happens?
Do you receive some sort of error message, or does it just not work?
Can you step through the code line-by-line using the F8 key to see what is going on?

Hi guys,

Please find the code below. It always stops in the line marked in red.
I get the standard error with option to debug and when I click on debug it highlights the "red" line
Code:

What is the exact error code and message it gives you (those details are often very important)?
