Runtime 9 error Check.

[Mattlynn via OfficeKB.com]

Hi
I have a survey spreadsheet with the following macro.
For some reason when a colleague runs it he gets a runtime 9 error. I have
looked through some other posts and i have seen a lot of comments saying
change the "Windows" line to start with "Workbooks"
Would this solve the problem in this scenario too, or would there be another
reason the error is flagging too?
Many Thanks
Matt

I'm assuming that the line that's failing is:

Windows("MoanZone.xls").Activate

If the user doesn't have a workbook open named Moanzone.xls, then this line will
fail.

If the user has a workbook that's open, but has two windows into that workbook
open (Window|new window would be how it's created), then this line will
fail--since the names of the windows would be:

moanzone.xls:1
and
moanzone.xls:2

I'll do my best to avoid the windows collection and try to use the workbooks
collection.

This will not fix the error if the workbook isn't open, though.
