Hello all. I am trying to copy values from an unopened Excel spreadsheet
to
one that I have open. I cannot figure out how to do this. When I use the
following, cells from the open sheet get selected:

Set xlw = xl.Workbooks.Open("F:\Larry\TEST1_Backup.xls")
xlw.Activate
xlw.Sheets("Field Sheet").Select
Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(150, 6)).Copy

I am using Excel 2000. Please help. TIA.

Larry
