    Note character (Space) after 'Report.' Edit to suit.

    Todays:
    Workbooks("Dump Aging Report " & Format(Date, "dd.mm.yyyy") & ".xls").Activate

    Yesterdays:
    Workbooks("Dump Aging Report " & Format(Date - 1, "dd.mm.yyyy") & ".xls").Activate

    Also try Windows( etc etc etc ).Activate

    Is that workbook open when you run the code?

    To make this code to work, i changed the file name to Dump Aging Report and now its working fine...

    Also how to set up a Message box, if the result is False in the below code. Here i am looking for a Reference : IC1012.

    ActiveSheet.Range("$A$1:$Y$1299").AutoFilter Field:=17, Criteria1:="IC1012"
