I use a FileDialog so the user can choose the file to import, but when I open the file to read it, I obtain a runtime error 55 - file already open. The cose http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12625140/vba-runtime-error-55-file-already-open-by-using-a-filedialog is: Dim openDialog As FileDialog Set openDialog = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker) On Error GoTo DoNothing With openDialog .title = "Import" .AllowMultiSelect = False .Show End With FName = openDialog.SelectedItems.Item(1) 'Close FName Open FName For Input Access Read As #1 On Error GoTo DoNothing Instead, if I use Close Fname, there are no runtime errors, but the import doesn't work (the code for the import is right, 'cause it works when I hard code the namefile) vba import text-files access-vba runtime-error share|improve this question asked Sep 27 '12 at 15:43 Sefran2 1,214114587 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 0 down vote accepted once you have the filename, drop the dialog box handler with: Set openDialog = Nothing share|improve this answer answered Sep 27 '12 at 15:47 SeanC 11.1k52045 add a comment| Your Answer draft saved draft discarded Sign up or log in Sign up using Google Sign up using Facebook Sign up using Email and Password Post as a guest Name Email Post as a guest Name Email discard By posting your answer, you agree to the privacy policy and terms of service.

File I/O and Registry > Run-time error '55': File already open Thread Tools Display Modes #1 04-17-2005, 07:04 PM Gamost Privileges Suspended Join Date: Feb 2005 Posts: 62 Run-time error '55': File already http://www.xtremevbtalk.com/file-i-o-and-registry/220307-run-time-error-55-file.html open I have created a complex timekeeping program...and it doesn't work properly. I would post the project but it needs some files on the C:\ drive and I don't think that it is nessessary. How do I solve my http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel-questions/173320-vbulletin-error-55-file-already-open.html problem? Run-time error '55': File already open I am using freefile() and I put watches on all of them just in case freefile() wasn't working properly, after finding out that it was working properly I came to the conclusion error 55 that it must be the specific file that I was opening. How can I check if a file is locked for use? or even open for that matter? OR How do I solve my problem OR What does the error mean if not the two previosly stated reasons above?

Using FreeFile will only return the next available number to be used to open a file. If you know that you will only open one file at a time, then if FreeFile returns a 2, then you know you already have a file using #1 open in your program. If you try to open that same file with a new handle (the 2 returned by FreeFile), you will get the "File already open" message unless that file was opened for shared access and is capable of shared access. Since we don't know when or why you open or close the files, we can't really suggest a change. And since the program is "complex" then we probably wouldn't want to try to anyway. If your program is the only one opening the files, then you need to keep better track of when or what files are open so you don't try to open the same file twice. You get the same error if you try to use the same handle on two different files, but since you say you are using FreeFile, then you shouldn't be trying to reuse the same handle, so more than likely you are trying to open the same file with two diff

Reopening will cause any changes to be discarded. Do youwant to reopen?" If one selects either yes or no the file runs fine. However, I would like to eliminate this error message from occuring in the first place. Any idea as to why it only occurs on some computers? It seems to happen more ofen if the Excel file is opened from a link in another Windows program (Windows XP professional). If I cannot eliminate the error is it possible to write some visual basic code to hide and clear just an error #55? Thanks in advance.
