If that did'nt help it
write here your complete code
You may need to verify you are using the right "server" path.  Instead of using the drive letter ("X:"), make sure you use the "\\server\folder\folder" and see if that corrects your problem.  You also may need to make sure you don't try to use the "strFile" in another part of the code without making sure there is a value of "strFile".  This may be causing your problem.

Example:
If strFile <>"" then
   'Put the rest of code that needs the "strFile" value here
else
   Stop
   'No file to use!
Endif
