Hi,
Im a little rusty with VB, as I haven't used in quite sometime, so please bear with me!
im trying to open a file and using the below code:
Code:
    'Opening Monthly Summary Report
    MsgBox "Please Open Monthly Summary Report", vbOKOnly, "Monthly Summary Report"
    H = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel Files (*.xlsx),*.xlsx")
    Workbooks.Open (H)
    RawData = ActiveWorkbook.Name
although when i run the code line by line ie F8, it jumps head after it reaches line "Workbooks.Open (H)"
why is that?
is there a better way to open an external file these days?

thanks
Sam

Copy PDF to Excel
Select data in PDF. Paste to Microsoft Word. Copy from Word and paste to Excel.
Do you mean that it's not opening the workbook?
If so what is the value of H ?
