Database name is "either invalid or currently in use"

Hello! I am trying to run the script which performs a joined database and summarisation. However, i am having issue with my summarisation where by the error message , i have try many ways to debug this but it doesn't seems to work. Wonder if anyone could kindly assist me on this! Thank you!

Is it actually performing the summary? You have a MsgBox for the dbName, is it populate with an actual file name (can you see it in the file explorer if you do a refresh). It is hard to tell without running the file with some data to see what is going on.

Hi Brian

Thanks for the reply! I am just testing msgbox for dbName to see if it is calling the correct db. The file name "workingsum" isn't showing. Sorry, i have uploaded the iss file together with the excel i am using.

Thanks for the files, I was able to spot the problem right away. You are missing the performTask function before you close the variables. So put this line before the Set task = Nothing line

task.PerformTask
