Jacqui:

You do need to explicitly set your workbook. For example:

Dim wkb As Workbook

Set wkb = Workbooks("TestTarget.xls")

Set wks = wkb.Worksheets("Part B - Coding Details")

or similarly:

Dim wkb As Workbook

Set wkb = Workbooks("TestTarget.xls")

wkb.Activate

Set wks = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Part B - Coding Details")

Can anyone help. The following code falls over if I have other excel files
open in the activewindow. I used to code quite regularly 18 months ago and
I
seem to remember there was something to cater for this but I've forgotten
how. Can anyone remind me. Is it that I need to explicitly select my
workbook? See syntax below.
Thanks
