Hello Everyone.
I just recently got upgraded from Excel 2013 to Excel 2016. When I had 2013 version, I built a vba code where I created an Excel workbook instance, posted some data into it via Access vba and then once it is done the code will connect to my Personal.xlsb and run a build in macro, to format the data that was just posted into a new workbook. The issue is that once I transferred my vba codes into the new Access and Excel, I started to get an error stating that it it error code 9. Out of range.
I played around with the code, and was able to identify that the issue is occurring when I run Excel macro. The process cant Identify which workbook to use. Because of this, I added a new code highlighted in green. It works fin, but the issue is that a newly created workbook would have to have a static name- Book4, but it is not always the case. When I run this process multiple times during the day, the process creates a new workbook with a new name (book1, book2). I tried various options to make make Windows active with a variable name, but it was not successful.
Can someone please help me to figure this out?

Here is my code:



Code: 
Sub FinalReport()
Dim ws As Worksheet


[COLOR=#008000]Windows("Book4").Activate[/COLOR]


Set ws = Application.z.Sheets("MonthlyReport")
'Set ws = Application.ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("MonthlyPReport")
ws.Columns("A:Q").AutoFit


ws.Range("A1").Font.Bold = True
ws.Range("A1").Font.Size = 11
ws.Range("A1").HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.

The error appearing on the whole macro. The only thing that I was able to figure out that the code can’t tell which worksheet to use.
Regarding the “z”, this part of code is noted out- not used. Please disregard that piece. The code in the following row is correct and active.
Thank you.

Not in the code posted it isn't, if it is in your code please post your actual current code.

Mark858,
To answer your second question, the error highlights the following part of the code:

Set ws = Application.ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("MonthlyPReport")

Check that the spelling of MonthlyPReport is exact on the worksheet and that there are no leading or trailing spaces.

Thank you for your reply Mark 858,
I did check it right now and it matches both sides, no trailing/leading spaces in it.
