Tom,
Yet another lesson! My workbook had not been saved and hence my
result. So much to remember - my age is definitely working against me.

Thanks again.

It would depend on whether the workbook was named Book2 (an unsaved
workbook) or Book2.xls. I suspect Norman was either using a saved workbook
or emphasizing the valuable lesson that if a workbook has been saved, then
it should be addressed in the workbooks collection with the extension
included.

On computers with the Windows setting of Hide Known extensions, then
Workbook("Book2") could be used to refer to Book2.xls.

Hi,
In XL2003 only works if TestBookName="Book2" not "Book2.xls" (or
at
least on my m/c!)

Hi Ken,

Your syntax works for me.

I tested using:

'=============
Public Sub Tester()
Const TestBookName As String = "Book2.xls"
Const RowNumber As Long = 2

Workbooks(TestBookName).Sheets(1).Rows(RowNumber). Delete

End Sub
'<<=============

I want to delete a row in a different, open workbook, but can't get the
syntax right.

Workbooks(TestBookName).Sheets(1).Rows(RowNumber). Delete

doesn't work.
