    Question Creating a folder for the new year without having to input the folder name.

    Hi there all VBA folks,

    I have a VBA program that creates a new folder once a year. Instead of having to change the folder name in the macro every year I input it as such that is highlighted in red. It throws a syntex error. Any thoughts on how I could do it any different so it doesn't throw an error.

          Workbooks.Open Filename:="Workbooks.Open Filename:="L:\GH Linen Orders\Yearly Reports\" & YEAR(DATE) & ".xls", UpdateLinks:=True
    If you would need more code let me know.

    Thanks VBA gurus!

    Hello LeapingLizard,

    Your statement looks like you duplicated part of it when you pasted.

    Try this...
    Workbooks.Open Filename:="L:\GH Linen Orders\Yearly Reports\" & YEAR(DATE) & ".xls", UpdateLinks:=True
    Sincerely,
    Leith Ross

    Remember To Do the Following....

    1. Use code tags. Place [CODE] before the first line of code and [/CODE] after the last line of code.
