    Set Variable = File Path generates "Object Required" Error

    HI,

    Seems to me this should work, but it doesn't: I get an "Object Required" error message.

    Dim FPath As String
    Set FPath = "C:\Macros\Pyramid File Extractions\HPES_Asset_Reconciliation_Data_PyramidAP_1.xlsx"
    Any ideas?

    Thanks.

    Brian

    As you have defined it, FPath is a string, not an object. So you don't use "Set".

    Dim FPath As String
    FPath = "C:\Macros\Pyramid File Extractions\HPES_Asset_Reconciliation_Data_PyramidAP_1.xlsx"

    Thanks TMS, I knew it had to be simple, but I just couldn't see it.
