Hi
I got error message running the second sub. I thought x would be visible to consequence subs but I guess that is not the case. How can I make x visible to all other subs? Thank you.


Sub workbooksoepn()
Dim x As Workbook
Set x = Workbooks.Open("C:\Users\userme\Desktop\abc.xlsx")
End Sub


Sub protecttheopenfile()
x.Protect
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Create a chart in one keystroke
Select the data and press Alt+F1 to insert a default chart. You can change the default chart to any chart type
Code:
Option Explicit

Sub workbooksoepn()
  Dim x             As Workbook
  
  Set x = Workbooks.Open("C:\Users\userme\Desktop\abc.xlsx")
  protecttheopenfile x
End Sub

Sub protecttheopenfile(x As Workbook)
  x.Protect
End Sub

It would be a kindness if you would use CODE tags.
