Hi. I need to copy a xls file into an existing worksheet. For example, I
am trying to copy the cell contents of test.xls from A4 to Z9 into a
worksheet that I already have called, "TestSheet". How would I go about
this?

I am currently opening the file through this code, but it open up an
entire new workbook. I need it to open in one of my exisiting
workbooks.worksheet("TestSheet"). Thanks!

LastRow = xlSheet.Range("A9999").End(xlUp).Row
