Perhaps I am confused but I don't think you have answered my question. What
I do is copy data from a source file to the same location in a destination
file. I do this for many different areas on many different tabs.

So, I go to the source file (which you have called F) and I highlight, say,
worksheet tab 1, then a range of cells on that tab. Then I activate the
destination file, find the same tab and same cell area and paste it.

Then, I go back to the source file and repeat for another tab and area. So,
each time I am toggling between two files. I was trying to find a way to
call the source file each time. I thought the command:

Windows(F.xls).Activate

would work but it bombs the macro out. What is the right syntax to toggle
back to that sheet?

Thanks,
Grace

I know that before
each copy operation, I don't want to re-open the file, but would rather
activate it.

Usually one doesn't have to select or activate anything to move/copy stuff
from one place to another. It just slows things down while looking ugly.
