    Open workbook based on combobox selection

    Folks,

    I have a workbook with a combobox1 to open some other workbooks which I saved in a share drive ("G:\public\Department"). The combobox values and workbook names are same. How I can open a workbook based on combobox selection by using VBA? Thanks in advance.

    Hi roy,
    The combobox contains the list of workbook names which I already saved in a share drive ("G:\public\Department"). The workbooks name and combobox values are same. If I select combobox value "SDG" then I want to open "SDG" workbook from share drive.

    Thanks in advance.
