I feel like I'm missing the answer to a pretty simple question, but I have
not been able to find any other threads related to this.

In the program that I am working on, I run a series of sub routines that
copy data from the original workbook to a new workbook. After I run each sub,
I need to be able to come back (or activate, I guess) to the original
workbook before I call the next sub.

I tried naming the original workbook

Dim RunRateMain As Workbook

and then re-activating it after I ran the first of the series of the subs,
but that didn't seem to work

Any help would be appreciated...
