Ole,

bk should be declared as Workbook (singular) not Workbooks
(plural).

Dim bk As Workbook

Ole,

The problem is likely cause by line breaks in Tom's otherwise
correct reply. The code

bk.worksheets(1).Range("C1:C5").Value =
worksheets(1).Range("A1:A5").Value

should be on a single line of code in the editor. Or, you can
use
the line continuation character to split it in to two lines:

bk.worksheets(1).Range("C1:C5").Value = _
worksheets(1).Range("A1:A5").Value

Hi Chip,

Now i get another error:

"Compile error: ethod or data member not found" and then
".worksheets" in
bk.worksheets(1).Range("C1:C5").Value = _
is highlighted, here is what i have so far:

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)

Dim bClose As Boolean
Dim bk As Workbooks
On Error Resume Next
Set bk = Workbooks("Master.xls")
On Error GoTo 0
If bk Is Nothing Then
bClose = True
Set bk = Workbooks.Open("C:\Master.xls")
End If
bk.Worksheets(1).Range("C1:C5").Value = _
Worksheets(1).Range("A1:A5").Value
bk.Save
If bClose Then
bk.Close Savechanges:=False
End If
Application.EnableEvents = False
ThisWorkbook.Save
Application.EnableEvents = True

End Sub


And something else i have been wondering, shouldent the
master.xls open??

Regards,
Ole
