I have a file "G:\Temp\Test.txt". When I click on it in File Explorer, it opens and display the contained text.

If I try to open it with
VBA Code:
Open "G:Temp\Test.Txt" for Input as #1
I get the error message "Path not found".
It use to work, but now doesn't.
Any idea what's going on?

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
If it isn't a typo you missed a separator "\" in the path.
