Two Open Workbooks

[Karen53]

Hi,

I'm not sure I'm doing this right. I used this to open the other workbook
in another procedure and it worked fine. Now I'm getting an out of range
message. Also, am I identifying the two different workbook correctly in
determining the LusedRow?

Dim wbkCopyFrom As Workbook

Set wbkCopyFrom = Workbooks("C:\Documents and
Settings\Eileen\Desktop\New
Workbooks\test.xls")
If wbkCopyFrom Is Nothing Then
Set wbkCopyFrom = Workbooks.Open("C:\Documents and
Settings\Eileen\Desktop\New
Workbooks\test.xls")
On Error GoTo Done
If wbkCopyFrom Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Cannot find originating file"
Else

Set ws = wbkCopyFrom.Sheets(Replace(MainPagepg.Name, "'", "''"))

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

'get the last tenant's row in the From workbook
FromLusedRow = ws.Cells(Rows.Count, "F").End(xlUp).Row
'get the last tenant's row in the New workbook
NewLusedRow = MainPagepg.Cells(Rows.Count, "F").End(xlUp).Row

Close...

Dim wbkCopyFrom As Workbook
on error resume next
Set wbkCopyFrom = Workbooks("test.xls")
If wbkCopyFrom Is Nothing Then
Set wbkCopyFrom = Workbooks.Open("C:\Documents and
Settings\Eileen\Desktop\New
Workbooks\test.xls")
On Error GoTo 0
If wbkCopyFrom Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Cannot find originating file"
Else

Thanks, Jim,

I'll try it out tomorrow at work.

What does the On Error GoTo 0 do? I've never seen a 0 used before. I would
need a 0: before End Sub, right?

The 0 is not a label in this special case.

You're just telling excel to handle the next error it finds.

is that the same as Err.Clear

[Rick Rothstein \(MVP - VB\)]

No, On Error GoTo 0 turns off the current error handler... in this case, the
one that was turned on with On Error Resume Next.

Nope.

Err.clear
clears the current error flag.

On Error Resume Next
MsgBox 1 / 0
MsgBox Err.Number
Err.Clear
MsgBox Err.Number

On Error GoTo 0
MsgBox 1 / 0
MsgBox Err.Number
Err.Clear
MsgBox Err.Number

The top group will "work". The bottom group won't get by the first msgbox.
