    Hi DGagnon,

    Thanks for your reponse.

    My apologies. It is typo. even with workbooks(desfile).activate it is still giving the same error message

    Hey..

    Thanks it is working. I had given the full path name instead of just file name and i believe that is the cause.

    Thanks for your support.
