macro problems
Best to set object variables and then always use these. Something along the
lines of
Set oWBMain = Workbooks.Open(Filename:="C:\myData\myFile.csv")
'do your interim stuff
Set oWBSecondary = Workbooks.Open(Filename:="C:\myData\otherFile.xls" )
and then always qualify with the wb object
With oWBMain
With .Worksheets(1)
.Rang("A1").Value ="Head1")
'etc
End With
End With
note the dots before the other objects which means they are properties of
the previously declared object in the With statement.

I've got a macro that takes a worksheet, does some formatting, then opens
another workbook, and is suppose to pull information from that workbook,
into
the original file.
The original file is a .csv file made from another program, that I open in
excel with comma's as the deliminater, to populate the first 3 columns. So
the name won't always be the same.
The problem I'm having is that when I run the macro from my "personal
workbook" it starts the formatting, but when it goes to opening the new
file
to get some data, it starts doing the rest of the formatting in that file.
How can I go about getting it to do the formatting in the first file?
Is there a way for me to, when I start the macro, declare the page it was
started from into a variable, so I can then use that to specify the page I
want it to work from.
Also, is there a way to hide the second file once I open it, and still
read
data from it?
