MS Excel VBA to use a form field selection as a name
Experts.
I created a drop down screen so users may select a workbook and after selection, the path and the name appear in the box named: SSReportBuilder.xls.UserFo
While running the code (another button on the form named UserForm1) a message appears stating “Object Required”.
The code it highlights is: FullName = SSReportBuilder.xls.UserFo
Since there is a need for this form to be open, I have not been able to test it inside VBA.
Please advise as to how the test may be performed or suggest an alternate way to assign a name to the selected “Full Path Excel file”
Thanks,

I added the message box but while running I receive an error message, :Object Required". below displays the two statements and I attached the spreadsheet form.
FullName = SSReportBuilder.xls.UserFo
MsgBox FullName

FullName = SSReportBuilder.xls.UserFo
MsgBox FullName

Can you attach your workbook?

Please see attached workbook.
SSReportBuilder.xls
SSReportBuilder.xls
Change
FullName = SSReportBuilder.xls.UserFo
to
FullName = UserForm1.SSFileName
What was confusing us was that FullName is an Application property (Application.FullName). You should change your variable's name to avoid confusion.
FullName = SSReportBuilder.xls.UserFo
to
FullName = UserForm1.SSFileName

d:\SomeFolder\Somefile.xls
(The full drive, path, filename, and extension of the file)
I am not sure how : SSReportBuilder.xls.UserFo
...can translate into a full file name...
ad a message box after the line:
FullName = SSReportBuilder.xls.UserFo
msgbox FullName
...and see what is returned
