This code snippet worked fine in 7 but fails after upgrade to 10. I get "runtime error '5': Invalid call or argument" on fname = Dir:

Code:
        oldpath = "\\DSGAIN01\Commercial_Printing\Work Flow\WEEKLY PRESS-DIST REPORTS - COMM\02 JACKSONVILLE\" & BUNIT & "\"
        newpath = "\\DSGAIN01\Commercial_Printing\Work Flow\WEEKLY PRESS-DIST REPORTS - COMM\02 JACKSONVILLE\" & BUNIT & "\OUTSIDE DATE PARAM\"
        fname = Dir(oldpath & AWN)
            
        fnamea = oldpath & AWN
        fnameb = newpath & AWN
            
        If Len(Dir$(fnameb)) > 0 Then
            Kill (fnamea)
            GoTo SKIP
        End If
            
        Do While fname <> ""
            Name oldpath & fname As newpath & fname
            fname = Dir
        Loop


Any idea why?

I have a similar problem with another code (in that it worked in 7 but not in 10). This time I get "Compile error: Can't find project or library" on "Dim FileSys As FileSystemObject". Nothing's changed...only the upgrade (well, new computer that has Windows 10):

Code:
Sub PLANTER()

Dim FileSys As FileSystemObject
    Dim objFile As File
    Dim myFolder
    Dim strFilename, YEER As String
    Dim strFilename2 As String
    Dim dteFile As Date
    Dim FN As String
        
    YEER = Right(Range("A46"), 2)
        
    Const myDir As String = "\\DSGAIN01\Commercial_Printing\OSB Distribution\Leesburg Commercial Totals\Apopka " '"c:\Refresh"
    
    Set FileSys = New FileSystemObject
    Set myFolder = FileSys.GetFolder(myDir & YEER)
        
    dteFile = DateSerial(1900, 1, 1)
    For Each objFile In myFolder.Files
        If objFile.DateLastModified > dteFile Then
            dteFile = objFile.DateLastModified
            strFilename = objFile.PATH
            strFilename2 = objFile.Name
        End If
    Next objFile
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Application.DisplayStatusBar = False
    Application.EnableEvents = False
    
    Workbooks.Open strFilename
     
    Dim WB As Workbook, WN As String, INS As Integer
    
    INS = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Crew Sheet").Range("O29").Value
    
    For Each WB In Application.Workbooks
        If WB.Name Like "*PLANTER*" Then
            WB.Activate
        End If
    Next WB
    ActiveSheet.Range("D46") = INS
    Worksheets("BILLING FORM (NEW)").Shapes("TextBox 20").TextFrame.Characters.Text = strFilename2
    
    For Each WB In Application.Workbooks
        If WB.Name Like "PLanter*" Then
            WB.Close savechanges:=False
        End If
    Next WB
    
    Set FileSys = Nothing
    Set myFolder = Nothing
        
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    Application.DisplayStatusBar = True
    Application.EnableEvents = True
    
End Sub

Ambidextrous Undo
Undo last command with Ctrl+Z or Alt+Backspace. If you use the Undo icon in the QAT, open the drop-down arrow to undo up to 100 steps.
If its a new pc maybe you need to go into tools in the vb editor, Referneces and ensure the microsoft scripting runtime is checked
