I realize that I also need to be able to refer in relative terms to the
workbook next to the current workbook.. So what I need to is to cut and
paste the value of a cell from a workbook to the left of the current one
into the current cell. i.e. cut and paste from workbook B into workbook
A
using relativity so to speak. I want to use the macro for a number of
paired work books in the spread sheet. Work book B is always to the
left
of Work book A.

Any help would be much appreciated!
