Hi, I am trying to use Ron de Bruin's code "Change cells or range in all
workbooks in a folder" to open files in a directory on my C:\ drive.
The variable "MyPath" is locating the directory but after the ReDim Preserve
command the variable "Fnum" is saying "Subscript out of range" and the code
resumes at the endif statement of the "If Not mybook Is Nothing Then" routine.
I am at a loss as to why this is happening, (probably due to lack of
experience), and would appreciate any help as I am trying to adapt this to
copy and paste operation on 10 directories with more than 50 excel files in
each one.
Code posted below.
Thanks.
Davie

'Add a slash at the end if the user forget it
