Opening new workbook

[Derek]

I have a piece of code that someone else has written.
There is a line of code that opens another workbook
(wkBk2):

Workbooks.Open FileName:=(wkBk2)

The program does open the new workbook. The next line of
code causes a crash (Run-Time error 9):

Sheets("April").Activate

The problem arises because the "April" worksheet is NOT in
the ActiveWorkbook. It is, however, in the newly opened
workbook (wkBk2). I would expect the newly opened wkBk2
to be the active workbook (since it was just opened), but
it is not. Apparently, this program has been up and
running for over a year. Now, however, this piece of code
is causing it to crash. I would appreciate some help in
understanding why this could all of a sudden stop
running. TIA...

Derek, the workbook wkBk2 was saved while it was minimized. This prevents
it from being the active workbook when opened. To make it the
activeworkbook, use the following line:

Workbooks(wkBk2).Activate

Thank you. You were correct...It was minimized.
