Code Reference Problem

T

Todd Huttenstine

'Loops through B100 to find a match
Counter = 1
Do
Counter = Counter + 1
'Calls the Closed workbook reference code to be used in
the match loop
p = "Q:\CS Management Reports\Reports Setup"
'p = "\\scgvlfs05\sesfa\CS Management Reports\Reports
Setup"
f = "Authorized List.xls"
s = "Reports Setup"
a = ("B" & Counter)
'If 5 and 3 MATCHES an Authorized ID, perform found action
RemoteValue = GetValue(p, f, s, a)
If NN = RemoteValue Then
MsgBox ("Profile " & NN & " is authorized. Click OK to
continue")
MatchFlag = 1
Exit Do

Below is the function the code above calls.

Function GetValue(path, file, sheet, ref)
' Retrieves a value from a closed workbook
Dim arg As String

' Make sure the file exists
If Right(path, 1) <> "\" Then path = path & "\"
If Dir(path & file) = "" Then
GetValue = "File Not Found"
Exit Function
End If

' Create the argument
arg = "'" & path & "[" & file & "]" & sheet & "'!" & _
Range(ref).Range("A1").Address(, , xlR1C1)

' Execute an XLM macro
GetValue = ExecuteExcel4Macro(arg)
End Function


It will not work if the workbook is closed like it is
supposed to do. Why does it only work when the workbook
is open?
