    Invalid procedure call or argument - Selecting files

    Hi, I am running a macro which pops open a Browse for file window - However, if I press cancel I get "Run-time error '5': Invalid procedure call or argument"

    The Code is:

    Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
    fd.InitialFileName = "\\Server\Folder"
    With fd
    .Show
    fLdr = .SelectedItems(1)
    End With
    What can I do to prevent this error message appearing if a user cancels the Browse window?

    Thanks in advance,
    Tom

    Hello Tomlancaster,

    The Show method returns a value when the user presses either the action button (-1) or cancel (0). You can test it to exit the Sub.
    Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
    fd.InitialFileName = "\\Server\Folder"
    With fd
    If Not .Show Then Exit Sub
    fLdr = .SelectedItems(1)
    End With
    Sincerely,
    Leith Ross

    Remember To Do the Following....

    1. Use code tags. Place [CODE] before the first line of code and [/CODE] after the last line of code.
