I have a certain excel file and when I open it (without using VBA) it gives an error message:
"Excel found unreadable content in 'EXP_Explanation_DATA_OVERVIEW_SUMMARY32036.xlsm'.
Do you want to recover the contents of this workbook? If you trust the source of this workbook, click Yes."
If I click okay it opens without error. I would like to bypass the error and allow vba to open the workbook but am not sure how to use the XlRepairFile on openworkbook function. Here is the line that it is failing at, I'm not sure where to insert the XlRepairFile piece
Here is the full sub, the line of code above is marked 'HELP towards the bottom of the subCode:On Error Resume Next: Set wb = Workbooks.Open(MyFolder & "\" & MyFile): On Error GoTo 0
Code:Sub Inputs1(ByVal x As Integer)
