I have a VBA macro which has to open around 20,000 Las files as text for input one at a time. An error occurs "Too Many Files" after processing 256 files. I assume I must close each Open file For Input after processing. I tried close (File Name) and Close(File Path) without any success.

Actually I need a command line to add to my loop to close each Open file For Input at the end of cycle of the loop

Hi Mourad,

What are you doing with these files?  

Power Query might be a better solution depending on what you are doing.
