Hi to all

I want to fill a combobox with the names of a close workbook

I try
VBA Code:
Private Sub UserForm_Activate()
    Dim i As Long
    Dim ans As Long
   
    ans = Workbooks(FileToOpen).Sheets.Count
    ComboBox1.Clear
    For i = 1 To ans
        ComboBox1.AddItem Workbooks(FileToOpen).Sheets(i).Name
    Next
End Sub

but i receive
run-time error 9
Subscript out of range

Any help???
 

Excel Facts

Spell Check in Excel
Press F7 to start spell check in Excel. Be careful, by default, Excel does not check Capitalized Werds (whoops)
To retrieve or modify anything on a workbook the workbook must be open.
And this cannot be a proper workbook name:
Workbooks (FileToOpen)
All Workbooks would have an extension like .xlsm

The FileToOpen is a string where includes the excel file i want to read his worksheets

VBA Code:
Public FileToOpen As String

With this code

VBA Code:
Sub Get_Sheet_From_File()
    FileToOpen = Application.GetOpenFilename(Title:="Select File for Open", FileFilter:="Excel Files *.xls* (*.xls*),")
    If Len(FileToOpen) = 0 Then
        MsgBox "Please give file name"
        Exit Sub
    ElseIf FileToOpen = "False" Then
        Exit Sub
    Else
        UserForm1.Show
    End If
End Sub
