Question

I am attempting to Copy a specific sheet from a closed workbook to a specific sheet to my opened workbook but I am receiving a run-time error.

The code is below:

Option Explicit

Sub START()


'Defining variables as a worksheet or workbook
Dim shBrandPivot As Worksheet
Dim shCurrentWeek As Worksheet
Dim shPriorWeek As Worksheet
Dim shPivot As Worksheet
Dim wkb As Workbook
Dim wkbFrom As Workbook
Dim wks As Worksheet
Dim rng As Range
Dim path As String, FilePart As String
Dim TheFile
Dim loc As String

'Setting sheets to active or to recognize where to pull information
Set shBrandPivot = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Brand Pivot")
Set shCurrentWeek = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Current Week")
Set shPriorWeek = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Prior Week")
Set shPivot = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Pivot")
Set wkb = ThisWorkbook
loc = shPivot.Range("E11").Value
path = shPivot.Range("E12").Value
FilePart = Trim(shPivot.Range("E13").Value)
TheFile = Dir(path & "*" & FilePart & ".xls")
Set wkbFrom = Workbooks.Open(loc & path & TheFile)
Set wks = wkbFrom.Sheets("SUPPLIER_01_00028257_KIK CUSTOM")
Set rng = wks.Range("A2:N500")

'Copy and pastes This week number to last week number
shPivot.Range("E22:E23").Copy shPivot.Range("F22")

'Deletes necessary rows in PriorWeek tab
shPriorWeek.Range("A4:AC1000").Delete

'Copies necessary rows in CurrentWeek tab to PriorWeek tab
shCurrentWeek.Range("A4:AC1000").Copy shPriorWeek.Range("A4")

'Copies range from report generated to share drive and pastes into the current week tab of open order report
rng.Copy wkb.Sheets("Current Week").Range("A4")

'Closes the workbook in the shared drive
wkbFrom.Close False

End Sub

This is what is in cell E11, E12 and E13 respectively:

E11 – S:_Supply Chain\Weekly Rpts Supplier and Buyer\
E12 – 102112
E13 – SUPPLIER_01_00028257_KIK CUSTOM PRODUCTS GAINSVILLE_21-OCT-12.xls

The directory I wish to open the closed workbook is S:_Supply Chain\Weekly Rpts Supplier and Buyer\102112\Supplier_01_00028257_KIK CUSTOM PRODUCTS GAINSVILLE_21-OCT-12.xls

Answer 1

I recommend you read this

Cause

This problem can occur when you give the workbook a defined name and
then copy the worksheet several times without first saving and closing
the workbook

How to Resolve

To resolve this problem, save and close the workbook periodically
while the copy process is occurring

For a summary of the discussion in the chat

By setting a breakpoint on Set wkbFrom = Workbooks.Open(loc & path & TheFile)

We realized that the file name was missing cause Dir(path & "*" & FilePart & ".xls")
returns the directory without the file name.

So the solution is to add the file name which is in the cell E13
