I have a workbook that opens txt files in worksheets, one file per sheet.
i use Logfiles = ThisWorkbook.Path so that where it searches within the directory the workbook is located. Works fine when I open excel and navigate to the directory where the workbook exist. When I click directly on the file and I run the macro I get a "Run-time error '53': File Not Found"


Sub Log_Cleaner()
Dim numfiles As String
DeleteAll
FileLoc = ThisWorkbook.Path
FileCountA (FileLoc)

End Sub

Function FileCountA(Path As String) As Long
Dim strTemp As String
Dim lngCount As Long
Dim C3Po As String
Sheets("Variables").Select
C3Po = Range("C3").Value
If C3Po = "" Then
C3Po = "*.*"
End If
strTemp = Dir(Path & "\" & C3Po)
If strTemp = "" Then
MsgBox "No files found that fit Search criteria", , "CM MESSAGE"
Exit Function
End If
ImportTextFile strTemp, "!@#", 0
Do While strTemp <> ""
lngCount = lngCount + 1
strTemp = Dir
If strTemp = "" Then
Exit Function
End If
ImportTextFile strTemp, "!@#", lngCount
Loop

End Function

Hi and welcome to VBAX :hi:

I guess the root of the problem is that Dir function returns only the filename, not a full path. So you probably need to change
ImportTextFile strTemp, "!@#", 0
ImportTextFile strTemp, "!@#", lngCount to
ImportTextFile Path & "\" & strTemp, "!@#", 0
ImportTextFile Path & "\" & strTemp, "!@#", lngCount

HTH

PS1: I say 'probably' because I don't see the code of Sub ImportTextFile, or the declaration of FileLoc.
PS2: C3Po is a funny name for a variable :)

Thanks for the welcome and thanks for the solution, great catch! C3Po was to remind the cell i was using to stuff the variable, C3 why not Po...:moosegrin Thanks again!

Hi Eddy,
Welcome to VBAX.
When you post code, you can format it as shown by selecting it and clicking the VBA button. It makes it more readable.
