Could not use "; file already in use EXCEL 2016 VBA
Hi all.
I'm getting the "Could not use "; file already in use" error when my Excel file opens, it highlights the code following the "Open connection to the workbook" comment:
I'm using the data in first worksheet and going to do something with it in the second worksheet of the same workbook.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

In line 13 you've set Myworkbook to be the one that you are currently using and then you try to open it again in line 17.

I needed the double quotes in the Extended Properties section. Thanks!
I need the Myconnection.Open because later in the code I build a SQL statement with the data in sheet 1 that pivots the data.
