Eh... its much more simple than that. Basically I just
need to know how to call up a cell from sheet1 of
WorkBook1 by running a macro on sheet2 of the same
workbook.

PseudoCode run by clicking a command button on sheet2:

dim flagValue as integer
flagValue=Sheet1:a3.value
Sheet2:d12.value=flagValue

That's roughly what I'm trying to do, but I haven't been
able to figure out how to reference the specific cells. I
know how to do most other features and have a rather
extensive background with VB5, but I've never used
anything with cells like this.

if you want to get anything done in VBA you must
study cell and range referencing.

just asking for a quick answer here wont help.

ALL vba books i ever read contain many pages on the
subject.
I woud have plenty of suggestions... except you need to
understand
rather then copy it.

Which workbook are we talking about?
the currently active workbook
=Activeworkbook
the workbook in which the code is running =Thisworkbook
or a specific workbook =Workbooks
("vbaLesson1")

How do you want to refer to the sheets?
Use the currently activesheet =ActiveSheet
Use the first sheet in the workbook =Worksheets
(1)
or a specific worksheet =Worksheets
("sheet1")

etc

you're question is ambiguous.. so this is what i make of
it:

if activesheet.name = "sheet2" then
activecell=[sheet1!a3]
else
msgbox "you're not on sheet2"
endif
