Tom,

The code looks like that it copies a known range of data from closed workbook.

What I'm looking for is to compare the data from a closed workbook with the
data in the activesheet and highlight the cells with matching values. I do
not want to copy the data onto my excel sheet

The closed workbook will be maintained by me (add/delete etc.. everyday) and
my team members will run macros on their machines to highlight data in their
workbooks.

Will your earlier answer suffice my requirements?

Thanks,

Use ADO.

Macros are stored in workbooks. You can choose which one, but to run a
macro, the workbook containing the macro must be open. It could be opened
read only.

Hi,

I've seen all the threads regarding the topic, but all these macros/codes
copy the data from a closed workbook to the active workbook.

I want a macro with following features
1. I do not want to copy the data, instead I want to load an array with the
data from a closed workbook
2. I do not know the amount of data in the closed workbook
3. Macro should run irrespective of whether the workbook is open or closed
4. Macro should be stored outside the workbook so that all the users in the
network should be able to use it

please, help me out of the situation.

Thanks a ton
